Liberty A-League Ins & Outs: Matildas star in line for return in Grand Final rematch

The A-Leagues will host its first ever Unite Round this weekend, with every team – men’s and women’s – playing a special round across Sydney.

The teams are IN ahead of Unite Round in the Liberty A-League.

Matildas star Cortnee Vine has been named in an extended squad for the Grand Final rematch between Sydney FC and Western United, headlining four potential inclusions for the Sky Blues.

Vine has been out of action for the last two matches through a calf injury, but looks set to make her return alongside Marguax Chauvet, Sienna Saveska and Darcey Malone as potential inclusions for Sydney.

Western, meanwhile, welcome back Golden Boot winner Hannah Keane after missing their 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory through injury.

Emily Gielnik is once again in line to make her return for Victory’s clash against Perth Glory.

Catch up with all the team news below ahead of Round 12 in the Liberty A-League.
