Perth regains Djulbic for Adelaide clash

Perth Glory defender Dino Djulbic has been included in the squad for this Sunday's important match against Adelaide United at Hindmarsh Stadium. Djulbic was outed for five games for spitting towards a match official in late August and his inclusion comes just as the Glory look like getting their season back on track. Coach Dave Mitchell is wrapt to have the 25-year old back in the fray. "Dino and the club were dealt a harsh blow with his suspension and he has been missed," Mitchell said. "He'll come back into calculations however I'm still to decide on my final line-up. Regardless of whether he plays or not it's nice to have him available again." As Djulbic returns, Glory will be without striker Eugene Dadi who has a groin injury but should return next week. The in-form Adelaide United will host the Glory and things couldn't be going better for Aurelio Vidmar's men. After booking a place in the Asian Champions League final, the Reds have the luxury of including star goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic, midfielder Diego, vice-captain Lucas Pantelis and set-piece specialist Kristian Sarkies in their line-up. However, marquee player Paul Agostino will unfortunately miss up to four weeks with injury.
