Ahead of the Friday afternoon and evening clashes at Allianz Stadium, the two Sydney FC squads have been submitted.
Unfortunately, one striker will miss out due to injury while another returns from illness.
Men’s
Last week after a 4-2 victory over Western United, Ufuk Talay has named a very similar squad for this week’s challenge of Wellington Phoenix.
After becoming sick on matchday last week, Jaiden Kucharski is included in the extended squad this time out and he will be looking to add more goals to his tally after doing so well and being pegged back by injury earlier this campaign.
Matty Scarcella ad Zac De Jesus are also included in the extended squad having missed out last weekend and will be itching to cement their spot in the matchday squad as they did earlier this season.
Unfortunately for Corey Hollman, he misses this week due to illness and Wataru Kamijo also remains sidelined with a back issue that won’t be sorted until the turn of the year.
