Wes Hoolahan could make his Hyundai A-League debut this weekend after being named in Newcastle Jets’ squad for Saturday’s clash with Western United.
The former Premier League playmaker has missed the entire 2019/20 campaign to date after suffering a nasty ankle ligament injury during an FFA Cup match in September.
Hoolahan has recovered exceptionally from surgery on his right ankle and is expected to play some part when rock-bottom Newcastle entertain United in Round 17’s Saturday afternoon kick off.
Read on for all of the important team news for every match this weekend.
