AFC Champions League

There will be more opportunities for Roar's young players as coach John Aloisi attempts to shore up his injury-ravaged defence in the ACL

Brisbane Roar continue to battle an extensive injury list as they prepare to kick-start their AFC Champions League (ACL) campaign away to Ulsan on Tuesday night.

Daniel Bowles (knee), Luke DeVere (calf), Corey Brown (hamstring) and Connor O'Toole (ankle) will be unavailable for Roar's game in South Korea as they play their eighth match in the past month, including additional trips to Shanghai, Melbourne and Perth.

Roar coach John Aloisi has impressively rotated his squad, giving youngsters like Joe Caletti, Dane Ingham and Cameron Crestani more game-time than they're used to, while Saturday's 2-1 loss to Wellington Phoenix was Brisbane's first in nine games.
