About to get striker for return game (7)
I believe the answer is:
rematch
'return game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'about to get striker' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding**).
'to get' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'striker' becomes 'match' (a match can be struck).
're'+'match'='REMATCH'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rematch that I've seen before include "Later encounter" , "Return game" , "Teams' second game" , "Return fixture" , "Another game" .)
