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.
