    A pair of hamstring issues for the Phoenix ahead of their final regular season game in football's A-League


    Striker Gary Hooper tweaked his against Brisbane last week and won't play against Newcastle tomorrow night.

    Coach Ufuk Talay says fullback Tim Payne has a similar problem.



    The Phoenix's quest for second remains alive after Melbourne City's 2-all draw with Adelaide.

    Wellington can claim a top two spot if they beat Newcastle and Melbourne City lose their final regular season game to Western United next Wednesday.
