The teams are IN ahead of Round 19 of the 2024-25 Ninja A-League season.
Adelaide United captain Isabel Hodgson has been named in her side’s extended squad for the first time this season after a foot injury that has kept the defender sidelined through the first 18 rounds of the Ninja A-League campaign.
Hodgson returns to an Adelaide squad set to take on first-placed Melbourne City in the game of the round; City welcome back CommBank Matildas star Holly McNamara to the selection fold after the completion of her international duties. McNamara is joined by defender Tyla-Jay Vlajnic who returns to Ninja A-League action after a stint with the Serbian international squad.
Around the grounds, Central Coast Mariners captain Bianca Galic and Wellington Phoenix striker Grace Jale have both returned from injury, while Western United head coach Kat Smith welcomes back four players: Alyssa Dall’Oste, Sandra Ibarguen, Avaani Prakash and Melissa Taranto.
