Ufuk Talay & Ante Juric have named their extended squads ahead of the clashes this weekend.
Men’s
For Ufuk Talay he is able to welcome back one of his central defenders to the fold after an extended period on the sideline. Alex Popovic missed out due to osteitis pubis for a number of weeks but now is back available for selection.
It is well timed with Rhyan Grant picking up his 5th yellow card of the season last time out against Wellington Phoenix so the Sky Blues will be without him for the meeting with Melbourne City on Saturday afternoon.
Andrew Redmayne also returns to the side after missing out through a knock the week prior and is joined in the ins by Anas Ouahim & Zac De Jesus.
Aaron Gurd and Kyle Shaw continue to rehab while Josh Sotirio is available despite picking up a slight knock that ruled him out of seeing minutes with New Caledonia in their World Cup Qualifiers.
Sydney FC: 1. Andrew REDMAYNE (GK), 4. Jordan COURTNEY-PERKINS, 5. Alex GRANT, 6. Corey HOLLMAN, 7. Adrian SEGECIC, 8. Anas OUAHIM, 9. Patryk KLIMALA, 10. Joe LOLLEY, 11. Douglas COSTA, 12.
