Holger Osieck has selected his squad for the upcoming friendly against Wales in Cardiff – and the stars are back with both Mark Schwarzer and Tim Cahill returning to the squad – Lucas Neill will captain the team despite being without a club but Harry Kewell isn’t included as he continues his search for a new employer. Local short-comings are highlighted by the inclusion of just one A-League player, Brisbane Roar’s Matt McKay.

Mark Schwarzer (Fulham), Adam Federici (Reading), Luke DeVere (Gyeongnam FC), Lucas Neill (free agent), Matthew Spiranovic (Urawa Red Diamonds), Luke Wilkshire (Dinamo Moscow), Rhys Williams (Middlesbrough), Michael Zullo (FC Utrecht), Tim Cahill (Everton), Brett Emerton (Blackburn), Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace), Neil Kilkenny (Bristol City), Matt McKay (Brisbane Roar), James Troisi (Kayserispor), Carl Valeri (Sassuolo), Brett Holman (AZ Alkmaar), Robbie Kruse (Fortuna Dusseldorf), and Scott McDonald (Middlesbrough).
