Asian Cup Champions Australia have named Borussia Dortmund’s Mitch Langerak and FC Ingolstadt’s Matthew Leckie in their squad for the friendly against Germany in Kaiserlautern on the 25th March (20.30 CET). There’s no place in Ange Postecoglou’s squad for Ben Halloran (Fortuna Düsseldorf), while Robbie Kruse (Bayer Leverkusen) misses out through injury.
Postecoglou has kept faith in the players who triumphed in the Asian Cup in naming his squad for the friendlies against Germany and Macedonia. However, he has drafted in three uncapped players. Lazio youth player Chris Ikonomidis, Brisbane Roar defender Luke DeVere and Adelaide United defender Tarek Elrich are all hoping to make their debuts.
Socceroos squad
Goalkeepers: Mat Ryan (Club Brugge), Mitch Langerak (Borussia Dortmund), Adam Federici (Reading)
Defenders: Matthew Spiranovic (Western Sydney Wanderers), Trent Sainsbury (PEC Zwolle), Aziz Behich (Bursaspor), Luke DeVere (Brisbane Roar), Tarek Elrich (Adelaide United), Jason Davidson (West Bromwich Albion), Ivan Franjic (Torpedo Moskau), Alex Wilkinson (Jeonbuk Motors)
Midfielders: Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace), Massimo Luongo (Swindon Town), James Troisi (Zulte Waregem), Chris Ikonomidis (Lazio), Matt McKay (Brisbane Roar), Mark Milligan (Melbourne Victory), Aaron Mooy (Melbourne City)
Strikers: Tim Cahill (Shanghai Shenhua), Mathew Leckie (FC Ingolstadt), Nathan Burns (Wellington Phoenix), Tomi Juric (Western Sydney Wanderers), Tommy Oar (FC Utrecht)
