Tameka Yallop is back for Brisbane Roar ahead of their crunch Westfield W-League top four clash against defending Champions Sydney FC on Thursday.
Roar head coach Jake Goodship may have a selection headache on his hands after the Queenslanders coped well without their all-time leading goalscorer, Yallop, in the 4-0 hammering of previously unbeaten Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday.
Amy Green returns for Ante Juric's side, while MacKenzie Hawkesby is also promoted as the second-placed Sky Blues aim to keep up their pursuit of league leaders Melbourne City, who hold a four-point lead at the top.
Brisbane could tighten their grip on a place in the Westfield W-League Finals Series with a second straight win in the Harbour City in the space of five days.
