Head Coaches Tony Popovic and Jeff Hopkins name their extended squads ahead of Saturday’s double-header.
Our girls in blue are five games unbeaten and will be looking to continue their stellar run of form when they come up against Canberra United on Saturday.
Jeff Hopkins has named an unchanged extended squad from last week’s draw against Wellington Phoenix with Lia Privitelli, Laura Pickett and Rosie Curtis all rejoining the extended squad.
