OLYMPIC hopefuls Mark Bridge and Stuart Musialik will be hoping to swap light blue for green and gold following Sydney FC's clash with Sutherland Sharks tonight.
Fresh from two weeks in Olyroos camp, Bridge and Musialik will make their debuts for John Kosmina's men at Seymour Shaw Park.
Olyroos coach Graham Arnold has given his blessing for the pair to participate, a day before he unveils his squad for the Beijing Games.
Kosmina is delighted to have the duo available but doesn't expect them to be around for too much longer.
He said: "Having Stuey and Bridgey 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.”
Michael Enfield is out for up to three months with a knee injury though and Brendon Santalab is 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.
