Socceroos Name Volpato, Yengi in World Cup Squad

Coach Tony Popovic has added two uncapped forwards, winger Cristian Volpato and striker Tete Yengi, to the 26‑man squad for the World Cup.

Volpato, a former Italy youth international, was rushed into the squad after his eligibility paperwork was completed last week. Yengi secured his spot with a strong season at Machida Zelvia. hiddenlangkawi.club

Not selected were Joe Gauci, Kye Rowles, Brandon Borrello and Martin Boyle, as Popovic looks for an attacking spark in the group stage.
