“We’ve got quite a few players that had to move on Wednesday night into a hotel, they’ve been there since. The number is around six or seven.

"We’ve had a good chat to them, the clubs looked after them. They’re allowed to come to work, which is great."

Melbourne Victory reportedly only has a single member of their A-League setup affected by the Andrews’ Government’s restrictions, with club Chairman Anthony Di Pietro telling SEN Afternoons on Thursday that that individual had been relocated to another area ahead of their introduction.

“As far as what’s happened in the last few days, we’ve had one player that was in the postcodes - so he’s obviously been relocated,” Di Pietro said.

“So, our team’s okay from that perspective.

“We’re running our training programs through quite a detailed COVID-19-response set of arrangements.

“It’s working well, Grant Brebner and the team are doing really well. We’re only a couple of weeks from the season. So, the preparations are all good.

“Unfortunately, two of our games have been named TBC for venues – against Western United and Central Coast.

“The hope was to have them at AAMI Park but that’s a changing situation every day and that may mean we have to play those games in NSW.”

It is understood that Melbourne-based sides are in communication with the FFA and NSW Government and health authorities surrounding their ability to enter the state to complete the season.

Victory’s fixtures against Western United and Central Coast Mariners are two of seven that were earmarked for a venue TBC on the A-League fixture when it was released on Wednesday.

Western United vs Melbourne City, City vs Sydney FC, Western United vs Western Sydney Wanderers and City vs Adelaide United are other games featuring Melbourne sides to carry the TBC label.

Victory are marked down to travel to NSW and play Wanderers, Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory at Sydney’s Bankwest Stadium on the new fixture, while Western United is planned to travel North to meet Sydney FC, Wanderers and Perth Glory at Bankwest and Newcastle Jets at McDonald Jones Stadium.
