Neill has been struggling for fitness in camp ahead of the two friendly matches, but said he felt he was ready to return and he only needed to impress this fact on coach Holger Osieck.

"I am available, it is up to the manager to pick me," Neill said.

"It's been six weeks since playing a competitive match but I think I've done fairly decent training, enough to justify some kind of minutes in the game, again it is down to the manager's choice."

Socceroos coach Holger Osieck was not interested in speculating on how his team might line-up in a match, having had just 24 hours to digest the 3-0 win against New Zealand.

He said that he will make up his mind on match-day, saying that the only player he would not consider is goalkeeper Nathan Coe, who played on Sunday.

"The challenge for me, with the two games in such a short period of time, is to balance out the load on the players," he said.

"Tomorrow we will field a very experienced and I think good performing unit. I hope it works out according to my plan."

Osieck said that several players had pulled up a little sore from the Adelaide match, which was played on a bumpy surface in driving rain. Brett Emerton was seen to be limping on Monday and would appear to be in some doubt.

Melbourne fans will be hoping to see Archie Thompson, who has not played for the Socceroos in two years, take the field and Osieck indicated that they will get their wish, albeit without confirming the prolific A-League striker will start the match.

"Football is a professional business, and there is hardly any space for sentiment," said Osieck. "I can assure you that he will be on the field tomorrow. I'm not sure whether it will be from the start or not.

"He deserves to play. He's done well in the preparation and the camp so far. Well why not? It's not because he is from here, but because it is his turn to get some playing time."

Thompson, who famously scored 13 goals in a single match for Australia against American Samoa, will be looking to redeem his international reputation having been lambasted as being 'hopeless' when he was given his chance under Osieck's predecessor Pim Verbeek.

He was in line for a recall ahead of last year's World Cup but suffered a serious knee injury in the A-League Grand Final, and has only just regained form and fitness.

Osieck expects Serbia, who Australia beat in the 2010 World Cup, to present a tough technical challenge.

"We know that Serbia have a different style of play (to New Zealand). They have a quality team, we can see that from the line-up they fielded against Korea," he said.

"It is the Balkan type of football. They like to play and pass the ball a lot.

"This type of game is really important in building our team, getting our stuff together to face as many styles as possible in order to improve."
