Brisbane Roar is bringing in the New Year with a big weekend of A-League action at home, kicking off with Saturday’s Isuzu UTE A-League Men’s clash against Sydney FC and a Liberty A-League match-up against Wellington Phoenix.
After making her comeback last week from an ACL injury, Mariel Hecher remains in the 20-player squad and will look for more minutes against Wellington Phoenix this Sunday.
New scholarship signing Alicia Woods, Isabella Shuttleworth and Tamar Levin come into the squad for Keeley Richards, Ashlee Brodigan, and Hannah Holgersen.
Richards and Holgersen are unavailable, while Ashlee Brodigan has sustained a knee injury and is diligently performing her rehabilitation to be back playing within a matter of weeks.
Thomas Waddingham and Rylan Brownlie will miss this Saturday’s Sydney FC clash due to a shoulder injury and knock at training respectively.
Antonee Burke-Gilroy, Scott Neville, Henry Hore and Corey Brown are all making progress and working towards their return.
