The team is in for Sunday afternoon’s Melbourne Derby. See who’s in and who’s out of this week’s side.

Heading into this weekend’s Melbourne Derby, City will be boosted by two key inclusions. Japanese star Yukari Kinga returns following a calf injury that kept her out of action in Rounds 9 and 10, while January signing and American speedster Ally Watt has been named in the extended squad.

Following a solid block of training at the City Football Academy since her arrival in Melbourne, Watt will be excited by the opportunity to make her debut this week.
