Botched Celebrations, LIGHTSABERS, Silver Spoons and Boxing Gloves | The A-Leagues Warm Up

The teams are in ahead of Round 8 in the 2024-25 Isuzu UTE A-League season.

Macarthur Bulls attacker Bernardo Oliveira is closing in on a return to action nine months after an achilles injury suffered in March, 2024.

The Brazilian-born Australian youth international made just eight appearances for his new club Macarthur prior to the severe injury that ended his 2023-24 Isuzu UTE A-League campaign prematurely; now, Bernardo is back in the mix for selection in Round 8 of the Isuzu UTE A-League season.

Catch up with all the team news below.
