Sydney FC will make the trip south for a trial against Sutherland tonight and football fans at Seymour Shaw Park will be the first to see two of the Hyundai A-League club’s off-season recruits in action.

Fresh from two weeks in camp with the National Under 23s team, Olympic hopefuls Mark Bridge and Stuart Musialik will make their debuts for Sydney FC, with Olyroos coach Graham Arnold giving the ok for the pair to participate, a day before he unveils his squad for the Beijing Games.

Sydney FC coach John Kosmina said he’s happy to have the duo at his disposal, temporarily at least.

“Having Stuey (Musialik) and Bridgey (Bridge) available at this stage is a bonus for the team, but I don’t expect they’ll play any further part in the pre-season as there’s a good chance they’ll both be on the plane to China.”

Bridge and Musialik will bolster a Sydney side that’s been hit by injury in the last week, with midfielder, Michael Enfield out for up to 3 months with a knee injury, and Brendon Santalab sidelined with a quad strain.

Marquee signing, John Aloisi has been back in full training for the past fortnight, but is unlikely to take the field against the undefeated Sharks.

The Socceroo striker will still be part of the action however, taking time out with some of his team-mates to meet and greet the fans at the Sutherland ground.

Tonight’s match kicks off at 7:30pm at Seymour Shaw Park, with adult entry $5 and kids under 16 admitted free.

Tickets can be purchased at the gate.
