After recording back-to-back wins with a 1-0 victory over Perth Glory at home, competition for places in the Yellow & Navy squad are as hot as ever with some big names returning.
Storm Roux, Josh Rose & Asdrubal have all returned from injuries to commence full training with the team and the latter two have both been named as prospective inclusions for Sunday’s match against City.
With multiple players working their way into starting positions over the past three weeks, there are welcome selection headaches across the board for Okon.
In a battle between third placed City and fourth placed Mariners, it makes for a tantalising way to cap off round 10 of the Hyundai A-League.
