Ange Postecoglou has announced his latest Socceroos squad ahead of the upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against Saudi Arabia and Japan.
Reliable defender Bailey Wright comes back into the squad after missing the first two matches through injury while Postecoglou has called up youngsters Craig Goodwin and James Jeggo after strong starts to the domestic season in Europe.
Mat Ryan is also included despite reports of injury in Spain earlier this week, while there is no place for Brad Jones despite his good form with Feyenoord recently.
