Western United have named a strengthened squad on the back of their impressive Round 9 win over Melbourne Victory, recalling Scott McDonald to face Brisbane Roar tomorrow night.
McDonald missed his side’s come-from-behind 3-1 win over their local rivals at GMHBA Stadium last weekend but has returned to the fray for United’s Friday night trip to Suncorp Stadium, where they’ll face a Roar side stinging from a 5-1 loss to Sydney FC.
United are also boosted by the return of centre half Connor Chapman who missed his first game of the season last weekend, while Brisbane full back Jake McGing returns to Robbie Fowler’s squad for the first time since Round 7.
Louis Fenton is unavailable for Wellington Phoenix after being ruled out for the remainder of the season this week with a shoulder injury.
Central Coast Mariners will be without striker Jordan Murray when they face Sydney FC this weekend, while veteran Michael McGlinchey returns to Alen Stajcic’s squad in search of his first appearance since a 19-minute cameo off the bench in Round 1.
Read on for all of the important team news for every match this weekend.
