Auckland FC have named seven-goal striker Neyder Moreno in their extended squad for Saturday’s men’s A-League match against Western Sydney Wanderers.
Moreno was left out of Auckland FC’s squad for last weekend’s match against Brisbane Roar with what head coach Steve Corica described as “a little injury”.
“I think he will be close to being back for the Wanderers game,” Corica said after the Roar match.
