To see behind the scenes at today's training session...

After another intense seven minutes of play, a drinks break. The players look relaxed with plenty of banter but you can tell they know spots are up for grabs.

The teams are back out with Vukovic in goal Muscat and North have joined in as central defenders. Both sides are playing a 4-4-1.

Archie, James Holland and Mark Milligan get to smash some balls at the keepers.

Dodd smashes a shot against the bar after Vukovic made a brilliant parry.

Another brilliant stop from Vukovic from a close range drive by Djite. And again – he gets down well to a Djite stinger from just inside the box.

Pondeljak smashes one shot out of the park and it looks like it's ended up in someone's front garden here in Bossley Park!

Pim is once again stopping play to explain various things to the players. There's plenty of passing and movement with both sides playing with more intensity than last week.

Durante off the park seeking treatment and looks to be walking a little gingerly. It appears to be a foot problem. He's now sitting out of training.

All players have now been called in by Pim to the centre circle. Hes talking to them quite animatedly about what he wants.

Pim and Arnie are now in deep discussion away from the players who are getting a drink.

It appers the session is now over as we'll now do a press conference on the pitch.


EXCLUSIVE UPDATE 11:20am: John Aloisi and Ufuk Talay are nursing injuries as we report live from the Socceroos camp in Sydney's west, where Jets teenage sensation James Holland has been added to the training squad.

The good news is most of the squad are on deck with Pim and Arnie – the only injury concern appears to be Talay who has iced his ankle and Aloisi, who's getting treatment on his left hamstring.

Both are on the sidelines and don't look like they'll train. Steve Corica has also now sat out training.

The Roos have begun training in clusters of four executing a speedy pass-and-move exercise between groups of players.

Meanwhile goalkeeping coach Anthony Franken as begun shot stopping practise with Clint Bolton, Ante Covic and Danny Vukovic.

Pim's loooking relaxed as he watches on silently and it's much cooler than last week's camp.The players are looking a lot more sharper than last week, too.

After a quick drinks break, the players have now been split into two groups for small-sided games. Again it's about passing and movement with one touch football in a penalty-box size area. It's five v six.

Arnie's looking after one game and Pim the other. The Dutchman has stopped his group three times to explain what he's looking for from the players. In his group, Dodd, Pantelis and Pondeljak are looking comfortable on the ball.

Arnie and Pim have now swapped groups and again Pim is explaining what he wants in terms of movement of players in a confined area. In this group, Muscat, Colosimo and Brosque are looking confident on the ball.

Pim and Arnie have again swapped groups – getting a look at all players who are working fairly hard. After a good 20 minutes the players are having a drinks break.

Now, things are getting interesting. It's a defence and midfield versus each other over three quarters of the pitch.

Teams are: Muscat, A Griffiths, North, Topor Stanley – Musialik, Bridge, Pondy, Pantelis – Djite against Milligan, Durante, Coyne, Thompson – Colosimo, Dodd, Hutchy – Thompson. Archie almost scores but shoots just wide.

Covic is the keeper for both sides as they swap after six minutes.

McKay, Vargas, Brosque and Wilinson are on shooting practice with the keepers.


EXCLUSIVE UPDATE 10am: We're live with the Socceroos this morning in Sydney's west with news that Jets teenage sensation James Holland has been added to the training squad.
