Cahill In For Socceroos

Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has been called up to the Australian squad for the upcoming 2014 World Cup qualifying matches with Thailand and Saudi Arabia.

Cahill is one of seven English-based players in Holger Osieck's 23-man squad and has the opportunity to break a long-standing Everton record.

After scoring against Wales recently, Cahill's tally of international goals whilst at Everton reached 18 - the same as a certain Dixie Dean.

Cahill will look to break the record against Thailand (September 2) in Brisbane or against Saudi Arabia (September 6) in Dammamm. The squad also includes ex-Everton defender Lucas Neill, who this week joined UAE side Al Jazira.

The full Australia squad is as follows: Tim Cahill, Nathan Coe, Luke DeVere, Brett Emerton, Adam Federici, Brett Holman, Mile Jedinak, Josh Kennedy, Neil Kilkenny, Robbie Kruse, Scott McDonald, Matthew McKay, Mark Milligan, Lucas Neill, Sasa Ognenovski, Adam Sarota, Mark Schwarzer, Matthew Spiranovic, James Troisi, Carl Valeri, Luke Wilkshire, Rhys Williams, Michael Zullo.
