We will welcome a number of experienced heads back into our 18-man squad for Saturday night’s Hyundai A-League clash away to Adelaide United.
Danish international Thomas Kristensen has been promoted to the side after missing last week’s 2-2 draw against Western Sydney, and is one of four players returning to the squad.
Club Captain Matt McKay, dangerous winger Eric Bautheac and defender Jacob Pepper have all also been included in the squad after serving one-match suspensions.

Young fullback Connor O’Toole is unavailable after suffering a broken leg during the second half of last week’s fixture.
Kristensen will join fellow Dane Tobias Mikkelsen in the side, who will be looking to build on an impressive cameo off the bench last round, which included a maiden Hyundai A-League goal and a crucial assist in the dying moments.
