Coach Rado Vidosic has delighted in Holly McNamara's influential A-League Women return in Melbourne City's 2-1 win over Western Sydney as he starts planning for a stint without star Kiwi duo Hannah Wilkinson and Rebekah Stott.
Four days after arriving back from the Matildas' Asian Cup campaign and being cleared of a knee injury, McNamara played a key role in Rhianna Pollicina's opener in the 28th minute, scored a wonderful goal in the 45th minute and was threatening throughout before coming off AAMI Park with cramp.
