Five players have been promoted to an 18-man squad for Saturday’s crucial Hyundai A-League clash against Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand.
The two sides clash at Wellington’s Westpac Stadium on Saturday afternoon (4:35pm KO QLD time).
Experienced duo Jack Hingert & Tobias Mikkelsen have both been promoted after missing last week’s clash against the Victory.
Young trio Shannon Brady, Joe Caletti and Dylan Wenzel-Halls will also make the trip across the ditch.
Frenchman Eric Bautheac is unavailable for the contest with a one-match suspension.
The two teams last met back in Round 2 in a scoreless draw at Suncorp Stadium, while the Roar are undefeated in their last four trips to Wellington.
