Terry Antonis and Tomi Juric will get their first chance at a major international tournament, with Postecoglou rewarding both players for strong calendar years.
“We’ve made sure that from a long way out we were well managed in terms of the individual progress of the players,” Postecoglou said in a Socceroos statement.
“From our perspective, we’re pretty comfortable with this group that they’ll all be available and, more importantly, capable of playing out the whole tournament.”
