Pim Verbeek Announces Australia Squad For Asian Cup Qualifier Against Oman

Socceroos Head Coach Pim Verbeek has selected a squad of 23-players for the Asian Cup Qualifier against Oman on November 14 in Muscat.
 
Mark Bresciano returns to the squad after a slight knee injury prevented him from joining the national team for the recent international friendly against the Netherlands and the Asian Cup qualifier against Oman in Melbourne.

Bruce Djite, Brad Jones and Mile Sterjovski also return to the squad for the first time since helping the Socceroos qualify for the World Cup in June.

Goalkeeper Adam Federici receives his first call-up since the World Cup qualification match against Uzbekistan played in Sydney in April of this year.
 
Last month, the Socceroos defeated Oman 1-0 in their Asian Cup  qualifier at Etihad Stadium to move into equal top position of Group B.

The first meeting between the Socceroos and Oman was at the Asian Cup 2007 in Bangkok when the teams played out a 1-1 draw in the group stage of the tournament at the Rajamangala Stadium.
