Tom Rogic has pulled out of the Australia squad for personal
reasons.
The midfielder was set to join up with his national
team-mates for June fixtures against Australia and the United Arab Emirates.
The Socceroos play Jordan
in a friendly fixture before a crucial World Cup Qualifier against UAE on June
7.
But Rogic will not be part
of the squad after citing personal reasons as he withdrew from the Australia
duty next month.
Socceroos boss Graham
Arnold remains confident in his squad for the fixture and confirmed no players
will be called up in Rogic’s place.
Arnold said: “My focus
must now be on the players we have here in Qatar.“We have selected an
extended squad of quality players and I believe that we will achieve something
special for Australia over the next two weeks.”
The news comes as Rogic
searches for his next club after leaving Celtic for a new
challenge at the end of the season.
The creative midfielder –
nicknamed the Wizard of Oz – enjoyed a trophy-laden near-decade at Celtic
before calling time on his stint in Glasgow.
