Brisbane Roar have locked in their squads for the weekend’s A-League action.
Roar’s Isuzu UTE A-League men go up against Sydney FC in Round 15 action at Allianz Stadium on Saturday afternoon while the Ninja A-League Women host Adelaide United at Perry Park on Sunday.
Ruben Zadkovich’s side are boosted by the return of Henry Hore following the opening of the January transfer window.
Hore made ten appearances, scoring one goal on loan at Gangwon FC, who finished in second position on the K League ladder.
The 25-year-old, who finished as Roar’s equal highest scorer with seven goals in 2023/24 looks to add to his 66 A-League appearances in orange.
Walid Shour and Corey Brown return to the extended squad after missing last weekend’s clash against Melbourne City.
Scott Neville, who played his 100th Brisbane Roar A-League match last weekend is in contention to become just the eleventh player to play 300 matches in the competition should he take part on Saturday.
18-year-old fullback Pearson Kasawaya looks to pick up more minutes after coming off the bench to make his A-League debut in the second half against City last week.
