The 25-year-old midfielder hasn't played for Scottish club Celtic since December 5 due to the knee issue.

Rogic was initially expected to return early in the new year, but Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed his comeback would be delayed.

“Could be six to eight weeks," Rodgers said, when asked about Rogic's return date.

The delay could have significant repercussions for Rogic on the international front, given he is seen as a key member of the Socceroos squad.

Australia's next fixtures are against Norway in Oslo on March 23 and Colombia in London on March 27.

Those matches will be the first under Australia's new coach, who is set to be appointed by mid-February.

Rogic has made 27 appearances this season for Celtic, netting four goals.
