The Socceroos will face Lebanon in their second World Cup qualifier without injured players Jordy Bos and Riley McGree. Full-back Joel King has been called up to the squad as a replacement for the injured duo. McGree and Bos sustained injuries during the first half of the previous match against Lebanon and will not be available for the upcoming game in Canberra.
Both players underwent scans following the match, and the Socceroos' medical team is working with their respective clubs, Middlesbrough and KVC Westerlo, on treatment plans. There is currently no set timeline for their return to play.
