A-League week 22 squad lists

Danny Vukovic’s exit headlines an interesting set of round 22 matches.

Paul Kane

Without Champions League midweek, the A-League is back on a regular schedule for round 22. The week's biggest change is the departure of Perth Glory goalkeeper Danny Vukovic to Vegalta Sendai, leaving young Jack Duncan to start in Wellington against the Phoenix. Melbourne Victory will be shorthanded in key spots as they try to recover from the humiliating derby last weekend. The huge game against Central Coast Mariners will be without Mark Milligan and Tom Rogic due to Socceroos call ups this week, though Eddy Bosnar will be out for the Mariners in defense.
