Our Men’s and Women’s squads are both set to face the Mariners this weekend in a pair of important fixtures.
Dario Vidosic’s squad will first face Central Coast away on Friday night before we play our first Men’s league home match in over a month on Sunday evening.
Both Rebekah Stott (managed) and Julia Grosso (hamstring) have been included in the travelling squad and are set to make their returns after missing last week’s clash against Perth.
Looking over to the Men’s squad, Nuno Reis is set to make his return from injury while young guns Harry Politidis (ill last week) and Ben Mazzeo have both been included.
Unfortunately, we will be without Mathew Leckie after he went down with a hamstring injury on Tuesday night in our AFC Champions League clash against Zhejiang. We’ll provide a further update on his return as soon as possible.
