Clan-Members » two vacant import spots to be filled anytime so

Brisbane Roars attacking ranks are set to be boosted by the availability of Dimitri Petratos and Arana for Friday nights A-League blockbuster against Melbourne City.Neither player has made an appearance this season, with Petratos having battled an ankle injury and Spanish recruit Arana told to build up fitness after his arrival four weeks ago.But its expected they will come into consideration, most likely for a bench spot, for the Roars second match at Suncorp Stadium in the space of six days.Exactly where they fit in Brisbanes new-look side is the pertinent question.After Brisbanes impressive 2-1 win over Perth Glory on Sunday, coach John Aloisi would be forgiven for not wanting to change too much.Petratos was the teams main creative outlet last season but faces a difficult task in unseating Brett Holman, who is looking increasingly comfortable at No.10.Arana, meanwhile, is capable of playing anywhere in the front three but has the likes of Tommy Oar, Thomas Broich and Brandon Borrello ahead of him in the pecking order.The 31-year-old, who has played most of his career in Spains Segunda Division but spent three seasons in La Liga, was a late arrival at the Roar and didnt feature in any of their pre-season fixtures.Its a good headache to have, options - we need options, Aloisi said.Weve got a game in five days and we might need to make changes, if players dont recover well or if this game took a lot out of them.If we make (Asian) Champions League, which were preparing to make, we need a deep squad and thats why weve brought in these players.Melbourne City have the benefit of a full seven-day break after beating Adelaide 2-1 on Friday night.They did so without marquee star Tim Cahill, who was rested and should be fit to start alongside captain and strike partner Bruno Fornaroli.A big crowd is expected at Suncorp as the match is Citys only away fixture in Queensland all season.

Spencer Abbott also scored in the shootout for the Marlies (25-13-4). Brisbane Roar coach John Aloisi has put on another stoic front as the A-League club kicked off pre-season training against a backdrop of more off-field uncertainty and ownership issues.Twelve months on since he first took over as coach in the middle of a financial crisis, Aloisi has again urged his players- to keep their mind on the job.What happens in the background or the office or upstairs, the players need to make sure they come prepared to train and improve. Theres no real disruption with us, Aloisi told reporters on Monday.The Roar trained at Griffith University on Monday in their first session together ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.Aloisi confirmed the Roar will return to their old headquarters, Ballymore, in the coming weeks as prospective owner Daniel Cobb completes the purchase of the club from the Bakrie Group.On Aloisis first day in the job last year, the Roar were evicted from Ballymore due to unpaid rent and were later taken to court by the Queensland Rugby Union.But the arrival of Cobb and his consortium appearss to have changed the dynamics in Brisbane.ddddddddddddNothing is certain until the sale is officially ratified by Football Federation Australia, but Aloisi said he was so far pleased with the clubs new bosses.Midfield signing Jacob Pepper was the only new face at training, but the Roar is still in the market for further reinforcements in attack and in the middle of the park.However, dont expect either of Brisbanes two vacant import spots to be filled anytime soon.We didnt get Corona in until two weeks before the start of the season, and he won our best player (award), Aloisi said.We know sometimes it might take a little bit longer. Things move, things happen during an off-season that you cant control, but you cant panic.Luke DeVere was also fully involved and is expected to play a huge part in Brisbanes season, putting paid to recent reports he was considering retirement due to recurring injuries.
