EXCLUSIVE: Lawrie McKinna will have to do without his attacking 'X-Factor' against Pohang Steelers with Adrian Caceres succumbing to a late back injury.
The Mariners are already missing several players through injury and suspension and now Caceres has been added to that list.
McKinna told au.fourfourtwo.com: "Adrian jarred his back earlier in the week, we decided to wait and see but it's disappointing.
"It's all the more disappointing because he had a fair chance to start against Pohang. He is our x-factor in that attacking sense. He gives us something different.
"Still, where someone drops out it is a window of opportunity for someone else."
The Mariners desperately need a victory to keep alive any hope of Asian Champions League progression.
