Already on a five-game unbeaten run, Newcastle Jets’ squad for the trip to Adelaide has been strengthened with the inclusion of former Wales international Joe Ledley.
Ledley has yet to feature for the Jets since becoming a January signing by new boss Carl Robinson but he could make his Hyundai A-League debut against the Reds at Coopers Stadium on Sunday.
Adelaide – who have lost four of their last five games to drop out of the top six, welcome back winger Ben Halloran after illness.
Elsewhere, Michael Zullo has been named to return from injury in Sydney FC’s squad, while Western Sydney Wanderers have three key inclusions in Kwame Yeboah, Keanu Baccus and Bruce Kamau.
Read on for all of the important team news for every match this weekend.
