Australia, this is the 26-man Caltex Socceroos squad Bert van Marwijk has named to head to Turkey for a pre-FIFA World Cup training camp.

With all-time leading goalscorer Tim Cahill included in the extended squad, there is also room for Hyundai A-League hotshot Daniel Arzani and Lokomotiva Zagreb right back Fran Karacic.

Arzani and Karacic are the only two new faces to make the cut as van Marwijk reduced the squad from 32 players.

This means there is no room for Jamie Maclaren, Apostolos Giannou, Alex Gersbach and Mitchell Langerak.

Two players from van Marwijk’s first ever squad for March friendlies against Norway and Colombia have also been informed they have not been selected – Bailey Wright and Aleksandar Susnjar.

“It is always a challenging task to reduce a squad, however this is the nature of professional sport at the highest level,” explained van Marwijk.

“Overall, I believe we have named a strong and ambitious squad for our training camp in Turkey and friendly against Czech Republic in Austria.”

The players will now join up for pre-FIFA World Cup training camp in the coastal town of Antalya, Turkey commencing 20 May.

Following the Friday 1 June friendly against Czech Republic, van Marwijk will then reduce the squad again to the final 23 by Sunday 3 June.
