Frenchman Eric Bautheac is in contention to return to Hyundai A-League action on Saturday night against Sydney FC at Jubilee Stadium (6:50pm KO).
The Frenchman is one of five inclusions to the Roar’s 18-man squad, who will be looking to round out 2018 on a high.
Young guns Connor O’Toole, Joe Caletti, Aaron Reardon and Daniel Leck, who is fresh off a hat-trick in the Foxtel Y-League last weekend, have all been included in the side.
Experienced head Stefan Mauk is also in contention to return to action on Saturday.
Brisbane will be looking to replicate it’s last away trip to face Sydney FC, where they became the first side to defeat the Sky Blues on their home turf in more than two years back in March.
