Captains back for quarters clash
Print Edition
CHINA and Australia received timely boosts ahead of their Asian Cup quarterfinal tomorrow, when both captains rejoined their teams at training.
Socceroos skipper Mile Jedinak missed the final two group matches after injuring his ankle in the opening match of the tournament and Chinese captain Zheng Zhi left the field early in his team’s last match with North Korea with a sore back.
But both men joined their respective teams on the practice pitch in Brisbane yesterday and are expected to take their place in their starting lineups when the knockout phase begins.
Jedinak’s return is welcome news for Australia after it lost its last group match 1-0 against South Korea, although they rested several players.
China was unbeaten in its group.
“We really want to do well, as do China,” said Australia forward Tim Cahill. “The great thing about the game is that Australia has a massive Chinese community, so it will be a full house and a game of excitement.”
