Diego Castro's calf strain is set to rule out the Hyundai A-League superstar for a second successive game with his club Perth Glory.

Glory coach Kenny Lowe revealed the news before the club's crucial clash with the Mariners on Saturday but added the Spaniard's injury is a relatively minor one.

"Diego is possibly another week away," Lowe told www.perthglory.com.au. "He's just a bit sore.

"The good news is that he hasn't got a tear, he's got fluid in there and it's a sensitive area of the calf so he's feeling a bit of pain.

"We've got a bit of a break after this week which will be good for him."

The Mariners will head west having snapped an 11-game winless streak by downing Wellington last time out and Lowe is expecting Paul Okon's men to provide a stern challenge.

"The Mariners are a good side who have had their issues with injuries, had some important players out and brought in a centre-forward from overseas who didn't quite work out," he said

"But they have some good young players, play a great brand of football and it'll be a tough game."
