Melbourne Victory coach Kevin Muscat admits Swedish signing Ola Toivonen isn't 100% match fit for tomorrow's derby.
Victory coup Keisuke Honda said yesterday he was "worried" about the condition of Toivonen, conceding he needed more time.
"Ola has trained since he got here, he hasn't missed a session," Muscat said.
"He's just pulled up a bit sore, this time of the year players pull up sore. He wants to play, but we'll make that decision tomorrow."
The Victory boss said his current condition was expected.
"He started later than the rest of the group, so it's normal he's not at the same level as the other guys, most of them going for three months now."
He also has new man Storm Roux as an option.
"Whilst he's been away, it's a wonderful story coming across to Australia as refugees and calling Australia home. Getting the opportunity to represent the country was enormous for him and his family. We're all proud of him.
