Submitted by Andrew Slevison on Thu, 06/25/2009 - 23:20

Wellington Phoenix are in danger of having not enough fit players for the pre-season clash with Melbourne Victory in Queenstown.

Among the players unavailable for their first real hitout are English striker Chris Greenacre (not ready), Tony Lochhead (ill), Andrew Durante (ill), Leo Bertos (toe), Michael Ferrante (Achilles), and Jon McKain (thigh), while question marks hang over Ben Sigmund and Daniel.
