Carl Valeri returns to the Qantas Socceroos squad having served his one match suspension for accumulating yellow cards, while Mark Bresciano, Vincenzo Grella and Harry Kewell have all been included after successfully recovering from injuries.

The trio missed out on being available for the Qantas Socceroos last match against Qatar in Brisbane last month.

Although Grella did get substituted at half-time with a slight hamstring complaint in Blackburn’s loss to Chelsea in the English Premier League overnight, Verbeek will await further medical advice regarding the midfielder’s fitness to travel to Bahrain.

Goalkeeper Adam Federici has received a call up following his recent run of form in the English First Division with Southend, whilst on loan from Reading, and his stellar performances at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Should Federici take the field in Manama, he would make his senior national team debut.

Craig Moore is the sole Hyundai A-League player selected in the squad after his successful return from international retirement against Qatar in Brisbane.

The Qantas Socceroos will go into the match sitting at the top of Group A of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Asian Qualifiers Round 4. In the other Group A match on Wednesday night, Qatar host Japan in Doha, whilst Uzbekistan have the bye.
