In-form A-League pair Rhyan Grant and Craig Goodwin have been added to the 24-man Socceroos squad to face Lebanon in Sydney on Tuesday night.
The duo, along with Tim Cahill for his farewell match, come into the squad at the expense of Tom Rogic and Robbie Kruse who are nursing minor injuries.
Socceroos coach Arnold will omit one further player on matchday as the group is monitored following the quick turnaround from Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Korea Republic.
“There is a short turnaround to Tuesday’s match against Lebanon so Tom and Robbie, who both performed well on Saturday evening but have minor knee and groin injuries respectively, won’t be risked,” Arnold said.
“Thomas (Deng) and Dimitri (Petratos) both did well in training in Brisbane but they won’t be part of the Lebanon fixture.
“Our medical and performance staff will continue to monitor the group leading into Tuesday’s game and together we will make a decision regarding the final 23 players for matchday on matchday.
“With limited matches and training days with the team leading up to next year’s AFC Asian Cup it is important that we provide as many players as possible with the chance to integrate into our style and system, and Tuesday’s match against Lebanon gives us a great chance to do that."
Kick-off for Tuesday's friendly is 7:30pm AEDT, with the match live on FOX SPORTS and Network TEN.
