About to move round striker in later game (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

return match

'later game' is the definition.
(another game between the same teams)

'about to move round striker' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'to move round' becomes 'turn' (I've seen this before).
'striker' becomes 'match' (a match can be struck).
're'+'turn'+'match'='RETURN MATCH'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for return match that I've seen before include "second game between teams" , "Game of football" , "Second game of two" , "second contest" , "Opportunity to avenge defeat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
