Ange Postecoglou is delighted that fellow countryman Aaron Mooy has made Australia's squad for the 2022 World Cup - adding that he wants his players to feature for Celtic so that they don't lose match fitness.
Mooy, alongside Daizen Maeda, Jota and Josip Juranovic, are the only players to have been called up from Celtic's squad so far ahead of the tournament. With potential call-up for Cameron Carter-Vickers still to come, the Hoops may have just five players on the big stage over the coming weeks despite their strong performances domestically and gaining two points in the Champions League group stage this season.
Many would think to rest said players in a bid to save their legs for the world's biggest tournament, robbing them of a dream that may only come around once every four years. However, Postecoglou insists that whilst he won't 'over-burden' any of his Qatar-bound stars, they will still play as he doesn't wish for them not to be match-fit by the time the group stages come around - whilst also praising Mooy for his dedication.
