The Socceroos have named two uncapped attackers in their World Cup squad, as coach Tony Popovic rolls the dice in a bid to find an attacking spark. Winger Cristian Volpato, the former Italy youth international, has been selected after the paperwork allowing his change of allegiance was completed, while towering striker Tete Yengi won a place after a strong year with Japanese club Machida Zelvia.
Coach Tony Popovic had to cut four players from his training squad to meet the 26-player limit. The unfortunate four were goalkeeper Joe Gauci, defender Kye Rowles and forwards Brandon Borrello and Martin Boyle.
