“They’re exactly where they are in terms of their rehab process,” Vidmar told reporters.
“Lecks probably a little bit longer than the others.
“Aziz should be back this week. Sammy and Elba, they’re roughly around two to three weeks to go. They’re tracking really well.
“Nate probably also has a couple of weeks before we get him into a reasonable spot.
“They’re all progressing well. Unfortunately, we’re probably looking at still two-three weeks or something like that.”
City make the trip to Coopers Stadium following the international break amid an unbeaten start in the Isuzu UTE A-League, with eight points from the opening four rounds.
