Australia head coach Graham Arnold says Ryan Strain deserves another opportunity to impress for his country.
The St Mirren defender was gutted to narrowly miss out on a spot in Socceroos squad that competed so well at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Having had to watch from home while his Saints teammate Keanu Baccus starred as Australia were eventually knocked out in the last-16 by eventual winners Argentina, Strain has been handed a late call-up after Celtic midfielder Aaron Mooy pulled out through injury.
