Melbourne Victory's hopes of kick-starting their Hyundai A-League campaign in Saturday night's Original Rivalry clash against Adelaide United have been boosted by the return of five international stars.
Caltex Socceroos striker Andrew Nabbout, who scored the winner in his side's only triumph so far this season, returns for the trip to Coopers Stadium along with the likes of Kenny Athiu, Elvis Kamsoba, Thomas Deng and Storm Roux.
There's some other key returns right across the Hyundai A-League in Round 7, with Panagiotis Kone named for Western United FC's trip to Gosford, while Gary Hooper is back to bolster Wellington Phoenix's attack.
