Initially slated to start the game with Adelaide at Coopers Stadium, Woud pulled up in the warm-up prior to kick off and scans have now confirmed the goalkeeper is set to be sidelined for up to three weeks due to a groin issue.
Meanwhile the club are also now sweating on the fitness of midfielder Jake Brimmer, who has suffered a calf injury.
Brimmer missed the trip to South Australia after picking up the injury in training and the club are now waiting on scans to confirm the length of time their key midfielder will be sidelined for.
Finally, striker Guillermo May will also miss this weekend’s clash against Victory due to concussion.
