Jordan Bos is on the bench, which is understandable as the latest arrival in camp - he only got in very late on Tuesday night - while Ajdin Hrustic will have to break his way back into the starting side in his return after he was picked for the first time in 10 months.Australia heads into tonight’s clash at the top of Group I, after they won both their previous games.
A win tonight means the Socceroos have all but secured a spot in the next round of qualifiers, which is where they will try to secure a direct spot in the 2026 World Cup.Good evening, and welcome to our live coverage of the Socceroos World Cup qualifier against Lebanon.on the ground at CommBank Stadium.
