Socceroos captain and first-choice goalkeeper Mat Ryan remains "touch-and-go" to feature in Australia's Asian Cup opener against India, with Joe Gauci looming as his deputy if required.
Ryan is back fully training after fracturing his cheekbone last month but was ruled out of Saturday night's (Sunday AEDT) final friendly against Bahrain in Abu Dhabi, a week out from the start of Australia's campaign in Qatar.
