Socceroos striker Harry Kewell will miss Australia’s friendly against South Korea in Seoul this weekend due to an ankle injury, coach Pim Verbeek said.
Verbeek said Kewell had not recovered from a knock on his ankle sustained while representing his Turkish club Galatasaray last month.
“As a result it is not worth the risk of bringing Harry to Korea for the match and it is better that he receives treatment instead,” Verbeek said late Tuesday.
He said David Carney, Luke Wilkshire and Danny Invincibile had also withdrawn from Saturday’s friendly, further weakening a side already missing captain Lucas Neill and midfield talisman Tim Cahill.
