United States striker Lynn Williams is back from international duty as Western Sydney Wanderers aim to get back to winning ways in Round 10.
Wanderers lost for the first time in 2019/20 in Williams’ absence last week, a 4-0 hammering by Brisbane Roar, to drop to third place in the Westfield W-League ladder.
The 21-year-old American has four goals in five matches for Western Sydney and she adds firepower to the Wanderers attack as the Red and Black host Perth Glory on Sunday. However, goalkeeper Abby Smith misses out with a knee injury.
Meanwhile, Laura Brock is in the Melbourne Victory squad for the first time this season as the Westfield Matildas defedner seeks to boost the Premiers’ Finals Series bid on the road against Adelaide United on Saturday.
Catch up on all of the team news from this weekend’s three remaining matches in Round 10.
