Midfield duo Mile Jedinak and Tommy Oar have been ruled out of the Socceroos’ friendly with Romania on Thursday.
Crystal Palace captain Jedinak copped a swinging arm from Huddersfield striker Alan Lee last week, suffering a fractured cheekbone and a broken nose.
Defender Mark Milligan has been called up by Socceroos coach Holger Osieck for the match to be played at the Estadio Ciudad de Malaga in Spain.
The Socceroos are currently ranked 36th on the FIFA world rankings, while Romania are ranked number 33.
Osieck is looking to use the match to assess where his players are placed leading into the 2014 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifier against Oman in Sydney on March 26.
The Socceroos are currently in second position of Group B of the World Cup Asian qualifiers.
