Round 18 Ins & Outs: Matildas duo back in the mix, Golden boot contender sidelined

The teams are IN ahead of Round 18 of the 2024-25 Ninja A-League season.

Two CommBank Matildas, Alana Murphy and Natasha Prior, return to the mix in the Ninja A-League this weekend, following their participation in the SheBelieves Cup during the February international break.

Murphy has returned to Melbourne Victory after making her senior Matildas debut against the United States, while centre-back Natasha Prior comes back into the Newcastle Jets squad for Saturday’s meeting with Sydney FC.

In-form Adelaide United welcome Central Coast Mariners to Coopers Stadium this weekend but will be without Golden Boot contender Fiona Worts, who missed the weekend’s action due to a quad injury.

Catch up with all the team news below.
