BRISBANE Roar coach Mike Mulvey has warned Melbourne Victory that his side is still a threat without sharpshooter Besart Berisha, who will miss Friday night's game at Etihad Stadium with a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile Football Federation Australia is yet to conclude interviews for the Socceroos coaching position as it's looking increasingly unlikely that an appointment will be made this week.
Favourite Ange Postecoglou was in charge of his Victory squad Monday while Central Coast's Graham Arnold and Western Sydney's Tony Popovic are yet to be formally spoken to by FFA.

Either way Postecoglou is almost certain to lead Victory in Friday night's Round 3 clash against his former side.
Scans Monday confirmed Brisbane's worst fears but Mulvey vowed not to rush the 2011-12 golden boot back after playing much of last season injured.
Brazilian Henrique replaced Berisha in the 4-0 win over Sydney FC on Saturday and looks set to lead the line on Friday with the Albanian firebrand expected to miss at least a fortnight but he warned Roar was far from a one-man team.
"It's disappointing because Besart has worked extremely hard and he's in the best physical shape that he's ever been in. He's scored a bagful of goals in pre-season but it was nil-nil when he went off," Mulvey said.
"I told him to make sure he gets the rehab done properly because we'll play as well as we can without him and welcome him back when he's fit and life goes on.

"I can promise you we won't rush him back because last year he was so brave. He played with quite a number of knocks throughout the year and he did that because the team wasn't in great shape, but we won't be sacrificing him, we want him in tiptop shape.
"He's our talisman but it's a squad game and we have a salary cap.
"One option was to bring in a centre forward but if you look at his history he plays most of the game so you don't want another scorer to sit on the bench so we got Liam Miller and Matty McKay to try and improve creativity in the final third.
"I believe Henrique is a natural number nine or 10, his best position is central rather than wide and when he came on he caused all sorts of problems for Sydney.
"We've also got young Kwame Yeboah. He played in the central position a number of times in pre-season."
Victory received a clean bill of health after their epic 2-2 draw away to Adelaide United with Mark Milligan pulling up well after playing 90 minutes, though he did a light session on Monday.
Kiwi winger Kosta Barbarouses is certain to return to the first XI while Gui Finkler did his chances no harm, helping to turn the game after he came on.
Former Victory player Diogo Ferreira played an hour of the youth game over the weekend after returning from a groin injury and is a chance of making the Roar squad to play his old side.
