The teams are in ahead of Round 4 of the Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Adelaide United teen Luka Jovanović is in the mix for his first minutes of the 2023-24 Isuzu UTE A-League season after Nestory Irankunda’s red card in Round 3. Ethan Alagich could also do the same; the 19-year-old is named alongside Jovanović and defender Ben Warland as the three inclusions for the league leaders for Round 4.
Melbourne Victory defender Jason Geria returns to the mix after a quad injury suffered in Round 2, while new Brisbane Roar arrival Antonee Burke-Gilroy is named in Ross Aloisi’s squad after signing on Thursday afternoon.
