Socceroos name two uncapped strikers for World Cup

Coach Tony Popovic has added winger Cristian Volpato and striker Tete Yengi to the 26-man World Cup squad, leaving out Joe Gauci, Kye Rowles, Brandon Borrello and Martin Boyle.

Australia’s final squad for the World Cup now includes two uncapped attackers – former Italy youth winger Cristian Volpato and Japanese club striker Tete Yengi. Volpato was fast-tracked after his eligibility paperwork was finalized last week, while Yengi earned a place following a strong season with Machida Zelvia. The move leaves out Joe Gauci, Kye Rowles, Brandon Borrello and Martin Boyle. amunra.qpon
