Mexico vs Australia: Socceroos Face World Cup Prep Test

The Socceroos are preparing for their friendly against Mexico with squad selection complications. Riley McGree's hamstring injury has forced coach Tony Popovic to adjust his plans.

Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 7pm local time or Sunday 12pm AEST. Popovic is currently whittling down his squad, facing the difficult task of replacing the injured McGree in his hybrid midfield/winger role. turconews.click

One of players like Mabil, Leckie, Hrustic, Boyle, or Irankunda is likely to step up. A fan analysis suggests the team needs to find a balance between defensive responsibility and attacking freedom to secure a win.
