Sydney FC Head of High Performance Chris Pappas updates on the Sky Blues’ latest rehabilitation ahead of some crucial games.

Alfie is back on the training pitch and progressing with his recovery. We are looking to get clearance for him to return to the match day squad full in the next two weeks.
Kosta Barbarouses – fibula
Kosta will have an intro to running on the training field tomorrow which is the first step to him returning to full training in the next two weeks.
Luke Brattan – knee (ACL)
