Socceroos make decision on Newcastle United striker Garang Kuol for World Cup opener

Soon-to-be Newcastle United striker Garang Kuol has been named on the substitutes' bench for Australia's opening match against reigning world champions France in Group D of 2022 World Cup.

The 18-year-old has just one senior cap for the Socceroos after making his debut earlier this year and is the second-youngest player at the tournament.

If Kuol does get a chance to play tonight and impresses, it's entirely possible he'll be chosen to play against either Tunisia later this week or Denmark next week in their remaining Group D matches.
