    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano won't be rushing his recovering players back into A-League action

    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano won't be rushing his recovering players back into A-League action


    The Phoenix aren't certain if Kosta Barbarouses will be available for Sunday's home match against Adelaide, while Oscar Zawada and Nicholas Pennington will almost certainly see more game time from the bench as they build towards full fitness.

    Italiano isn't rushing his stars back because he says building depth is proving to be invaluable.
