Nabbout ready for reunion with former teammate Ferreyra

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 22:38 · Archive

Melbourne City striker Andrew Nabbout will face former teammate German Ferreyra when Western Sydney visit AAMI Park on Saturday. Nabbout, 33, and Ferreyra, 30, spent two seasons together at Melbourne City, including winning the 2024-25 championship. Ferreyra joined Western Sydney in the off-season to partner with Anthony Pantazopoulos at the Wanderers.

Nabbout expects a fierce encounter between old friends. 'Another battle, another war with the two centre-backs over there - they're probably going to kick the hell out of me as well, which I'm looking forward to,' he said. 'I know German pretty well and I'm going to have a good battle against him. He taught me all the bad Spanish words, so I'll be saying them back to him next week.'

Nabbout is finally enjoying an injury-free run after dealing with an Achilles tear, a bad calf injury and a ruptured ACL in recent years. 'This is the first year that I've completed the first three games in four years or something, so I'm really, really enjoying it,' he said. Young striker Max Caputo is sidelined with a hamstring injury but should return after the November international break.
