Summary Socceroos head coach Holger Osieck named a 23-player squad Wednesday.

 

SYDNEY (AP) - New York City-based Tim Cahill and Crystal Palace s Mile Jedinak are among four overseas-based players returning to the Australia squad for its 2014 World Cup qualifying match against Oman in Sydney on March 26.

 

Socceroos head coach Holger Osieck named a 23-player squad Wednesday, also including Tommy Oar (FC Utrecht) and Tom Rogic (Celtic). All four missed last month s friendly against Romania.

 

Australia will be without captain Lucas Neill and Carl Valeri, who are serving one-match suspensions for the accumulation of yellow cards from previous matches.

 

The Socceroos are second in Group B in the final round of Asian qualifying for Brazil in 2014, eight points behind Japan and only edging Iraq and Oman on goal difference.
