Zullo and Henrique are likely to return to the fray for the A-League clash at ME Bank Stadium on Sunday.

The news softens the blow of Matt McKay's absence (quadricep tear) and doubts over Danny Tiatto after the former Socceroo tweaked his troublesome hamstring at training.

Henrique returns after a one-week suspension, while for Zullo a return will signal the end of a frustrating spell of injuries.

The 21-year-old hasn't played senior football since round two, but solid performances in the youth team and at training have put him in the frame for Roar coach Ange Postecoglou.

"I've been really happy with the way he's trained the last two weeks," Postecoglou said. "As to whether he starts or not, I'll have to look at the team at the end of the week, but if he keeps training the way he is, he'll definitely be in the first team squad."

Zullo was understandably eager to put a forgettable start to the season behind him and force his way back into the squad.

"I still have to be careful with it but I'm 100 per cent (fit)," he said. "I've been at full training now for three weeks so I just want to get back into the squad."

With fellow left-winger Tommy Oar in red-hot form and Henrique also set to return, Zullo said he wasn't afraid of the competition for places, suggesting the three of them could even team up to terrorise opposition defences.

"Attacking-wise it'd be a good squad and we all have different things to offer," he said.

Postecoglou said he was looking forward to unleashing an array of attacking options against Perth in a match which could see Brisbane return to the top six.

"It's going to be right down to the wire, it's that sort of league," he added. "I think I can call every game from now on a six-pointer if I want to but the reality of it is that every game is a chance to get amongst it."
