Kenny Lowe has announced his 18 man squad ahead of the Round 25 must-win game at home against the Newcastle Jets this Sunday KO 4pm (WST).
Brazilian playmaker, Sidnei Sciola Moraes, is brought back into the squad after recovering from a groin injury during the week.
Joining him is young full-back, Riley Woodcock, after being promoted from the Club-s National Premier Leagues side.
Keeper, Jack Duncan is set to start his fourth game in Perth Glory goal as his team search for three points at home with Michael Thwaite and William Gallas looking to continue in heart of the Glory defence.
The duo has been a force to be reckoned with having holding the fort in defence for Glory in the last couple weeks, with both of them also recently scoring.
Star Striker, Shane Smeltz, misses out once again due to the groin injury that kept him out of last Sunday-s fixture.
The Jets come into game on the back of a 5-0 win against the Wellington Phoenix but have failed to beat the Glory in the last 11 fixtures at nib Stadium.
