A total of 22 of the 23 players selected against Syria are back in the squad, with only Brad Smith missing out through injury. 

Bailey Wright and Danny Vukovic return to the 30, having left the most recent squad also with minor injuries, but have since returned to club football.

Captain Mile Jedinak, Alex Gersbach, Ajdin Hrustic, James Jeggo, Awer Mabil and Jamie Maclaren are those who didn't make the final 23 against Syria who are included in this 30-man squad. 

“There are a couple of weeks before the group gets together so we will be monitoring the health and fitness of every player to make sure that the final twenty-three are available for what is going to be a challenging couple of games,” said Socceroos coach Postecoglou.

“We feel that we are right on schedule with regards to our arrangements, logistics and intelligence for Honduras, and are comfortable that the work completed and decisions made so far will help us in our quest to qualify for Russia.

“A large, vocal home crowd in Sydney for the second leg is something that everyone involved with the squad is looking forward to."
