The squads are in for the blockbuster clash between Melbourne City FC and Sydney FC on Saturday night. See who’s in and who’s out for this week.
Melbourne City FC see the return of Aaron Mooy from Socceroos duty with the influential midfielder only playing six minutes in the clash against Japan in Osaka.
Ben Garuccio also makes the provisional 18-man squad with the inclusion of Liam Miller as an injury replacement.
Sydney FC received the shocking news of Corey Gameiro ACL injury on Thursday, ruling the talented young striker out for the rest of the season.
There was some light before the news of Gameiro’s injury broke, with Terry Antonis and Mark Janko returning for the Sky Blues but Graham Arnold’s men will have Gameiro in the forefront of their mind on Saturday night.
