Ins & Outs Round 4: 3 big inclusions as Sydney star, Adelaide signing and a captain return

Total A-Leagues: Round 3 A-League Talking Points

The teams are IN ahead of Round 4 of the 2024-25 Isuzu UTE A-League season.

There’s good news for Adelaide United this weekend as star recruit Bart Vriends is included in his first squad of the season. The Dutchman hasn’t featured so far this season but after coming close to selection in Adelaide’s Round 3 win over Western Sydney Wanderers, the centre-back is in the mix to take on Western United at Coopers Stadium.

But Western United have reinforcements arriving too, with newly-named captain Ben Garuccio included in John Aloisi’s squad for what could be his first appearance of the season.

Meanwhile, Sydney FC have named star Englishman Joe Lolley for a meeting with Macarthur Bulls. Lolley was substituted in the first half of the Sky Blues’ Round 2 clash with Auckland FC due to a groin injury but is back in the selection mix to take on the Bulls.

Catch up with all the team news below.

*Auckland FC have the bye in Round 4.
