Australia's Socceroos drew 1-1 with Switzerland in a World Cup warm-up, with Nestory Irankunda and Connor Metcalfe impressing, though coach Tony Popovic remains tight-lipped on his starting lineup for the World Cup opener against Turkey on June 14.
Coach Tony Popovic has selected two uncapped attackers, Cristian Volpato and Tete Yengi, in Australia's World Cup squad, aiming to boost the team's attacking prowess. Several players were cut, including Martin Boyle and Kye Rowles.
Cristian Volpato, who recently switched allegiance from Italy to Australia, has been named in the Socceroos' 26-man squad for the World Cup before making his debut. Skipper Mat Ryan and Mathew Leckie will attend their fourth World Cup.
The Socceroos face a setback with Riley McGree's hamstring injury ahead of the World Cup. In a surprise move, uncapped Tete Yengi joins the squad, while Mitch Duke is cut.
