📰 Team News: Wellington Phoenix

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Wellington Phoenix boss Ufuk Talay to be concerned about from a near full-strength group of players. Clayton Lewis (Fractured Kneecap) won’t play.

📋 Team News: Perth Glory

Perth Glory boss Ruben Zadkovich has to choose a team with limited availability. Brad Jones (Cartilage Damage) and Adrián Sardinero (Achilles tendon problems) are those who can’t be considered.
