The line-ups are finalised ahead of Round 27 of the 2024-25 Isuzu UTE A-League season.
Adelaide United’s captain, Ryan Kitto, makes his return this weekend after missing a couple of games while adhering to concussion protocols. Kitto is set to feature in Adelaide’s home match against Wellington Phoenix this Friday night.
Wellington Phoenix will be without Paulo Retre in Round 27, as he is sidelined with a hamstring injury incurred while scoring against Melbourne Victory last weekend.
In other news, goalkeeper Dakota Ochsenham has joined Melbourne City’s squad to face Western Sydney Wanderers, having signed an injury replacement contract on Thursday morning. City will miss the services of Socceroo Mathew Leckie due to a hamstring injury; however, head coach Aurelio Vidmar remains hopeful that Leckie’s condition is only minor.
