Corica limped out of Sydney FC's away goalless draw versus Melbourne Victory with a groin strain and did not train with his teammates at Macquarie University Sports Fields today, a two-hour session that John Kosmina said that he would have get through to play.

FIFA World Cup-winning midfielder Juninho is likely to take Corica's place in Sydney FC's starting side as the club bids to extend its undefeated run under Kosmina and also maintain the only unbeaten away record in the Hyundai A-League 2007/08 Season.

With Qantas Under 23s representatives Mark Milligan and Ruben Zadkovich also unable to make the trip to New Zealand's capital city, Sydney FC coach Kosmina has included Adam Biddle, Brendon Santalab and Ben Vidaic in the club's 15-man travelling squad.

Ufuk Talay will become the latest player to make his 50th Hyundai A-League appearance for Sydney FC should he take to the Westpac Stadium field on Saturday, while Michael Bridges is expected to play despite rolling his ankle in a training-ground incident.
