Western coach Mark Rooke confirmed Culbert picked up a knee injury in his side's 2-1 loss, saying he looks to have injured his anterior cruciate ligament, meaning he would miss the upcoming 2020 NSW NPL4 season.

"We were a bit down after Jaiden's injury, but we'll be right. We'll get there," Rooke said.

In terms of the match, Rooke said Western created plenty of chances and should've won the game.

"There were some good things to come out of it. There were a lot of minutes in the legs and we created plenty of chances, but we should've won that match on the back of those chances," he said.

"It was just one of those days. We couldn't find the back of the net and we conceded two soft goals.

"However, I'm not too concerned about trial matches as much. It's all about getting minutes in the legs."

While the Western first grade side lost, the under 18s and 20s won their respective match.

"It was a difficult weekend because we a bit short on players but we won 18s and 20s but lost first grade.

Western have the last trial match this Sunday against Lithgow Workmen's Club, before the season proper gets under away on March 7 against Parramatta FC at Marjorie Jackson Oval.

This is Western's first season in NPL4, after being one of five teams relegated from NPL3 at the end of the 2019 season.
