United’s match with Perth will kick-off just over 24 hours after the squad arrive back from Uzbekistan.

Galekovic’s injury means Mark Birighitti will make his second start between the posts for United, while Vidmar is likely to bring Jonas Salley and Alemao into the starting line, both players fresh and ready to go after not travelling with the rest of the squad to Tashkent.

Kristian Sarkies, Michael Valkanis and Robert Younis could also be considered to come into the line up, the trio not used in the match against Bunyodkor.

The Reds have recorded two wins and a draw from their past three domestic matches, and Vidmar will be looking for another workmanlike performance from his charges against the Glory.

Although sporting a black eye from the match against Bunyodkor, Brazilian striker Cristiano will be hoping to add to his five goals this season, while Robert Cornthwaite has also shown some ominous scoring form of late, the lanky defender sure to again be a target from set pieces on Sunday after his winner against Roar a week ago.

Meanwhile, Adelaide supporters are invited to help welcome the squad home after their historic win in Tashkent in the AFC Champions League semi-final.

The squad is set to touch down in Adelaide at 7.15am tomorrow, Saturday (25 October 2008) and will arrive through the international arrival gate at Adelaide Airport.

The club is encouraging fans to turn out in their numbers and wear red at the Adelaide Airport tomorrow to help give Coach Aurelio Vidmar and the squad a fitting reception after their ground breaking achievement.
