    Auckland FC can't wait to see club captain Hiroki Sakai back on the field

    Auckland FC can't wait to see club captain Hiroki Sakai back on the field


    The 35-year-old former Japan international has been out for more than a month with a hamstring injury.

    Black Knights boss Nick Becker says Callan Elliott has been a good replacement, but he believes the team is lacking on the leadership front.



    Becker is expecting a sell-out for Saturday's second derby of the season...taking place at Mt Smart.
