SQUAD: 30-man Caltex Socceroos squad named for upcoming WCQs
We’ve got an update on how a host of players are tracking for their clubs before heading into camp with the national team.
Aaron Mooy
Newly-promoted Huddersfield Town made the perfect start to life in the EPL, winning 3-0 at Crystal Palace. Mooy played a full game, had an assist and played a significant role in another goal in an impressive display for the Terries.
Mathew Leckie
The winger is in good form ahead of the start of the Bundesliga season in Germany this weekend. In his competitive debut for Hertha Berlin on the weekend, Leckie provided two assists as his side beat Hansa Rostock in the German Cup.
Tom Rogic
Getting plenty of minutes with Celtic in Scotland, playing a full game in their 5-0 League Cup win over Kilmarnock last week. Backed that up with another 30 minutes off the bench in the Hoops’ 1-0 SPL triumph over Partick Thistle.
Mat Ryan
Fulfilled a lifelong dream when he made his English Premier League debut over the weekend as Brighton went down 2-0 against Manchester City. Made some eye-catching stops in a solid display.
Massimo Luongo
A permanent member of the QPR starting XI right now, getting through another 90 minutes in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday to remain unbeaten.
Robbie Kruse
The Caltex Socceroos winger was a constant threat in his 90-minute display for Bochum as they beat Nöttingen 5-2 in the first round of the German Cup.
Aziz Behich
Has started the Turkish Super Lig season in excellent touch, getting through another 90 minutes for Bursaspor on the weekend in their 1-0 loss to Ístanbul Basaksehir.
Jackson Irvine
The all-action midfielder has started the English Championship season with a mixed bag. He scored a cracking goal for Burton on the weekend, only to pick up a red card soon after in the club’s 4-1 loss at Hull City.
Bailey Wright
As skipper at Bristol City, Wright has played every minute of the Championship season so far, including Wednesday morning’s last-gasp 2-2 draw at Brentford.
Alex Gersbach
The young left-back has seen plenty of game time for Rosenborg over the last week, starting in their Norwegian Cup win over Jerv while he came off the bench in the club’s 2-1 win over Molde at the weekend.
