TEAM NEWS: Vidmar confirms squad to face Brisbane

Your City boys will make the trip north to face Brisbane Roar this Friday night. 

A quick turnaround comes at a good time as we look to put a disappointing result behind us, going down 2-0 to Western Sydney last weekend. 

We’ve got the chance to bounce back and on our side is a strong record on the road this season to date, having won all three of our away games. 

Aurelio Vidmar has now confirmed his extended squad with two youngsters included from the group that took to the pitch last Saturday.

Harry Shillington and Ben Mazzeo have both been promoted, with the former named for the first time this season after overcoming an ankle injury.

Speaking to media ahead of the trip to Brisbane, Vidmar confirmed that Mathew Leckie would again be sidelined this weekend due to a hamstring injury. The City star will be reassessed ahead of next Sunday’s home game against Auckland FC.
