#1 No Tim Cahill this time
Tim Cahill was a pivotal figure in the Australian national team setup. The former Everton striker had bulged the back of the net 50 times for Australia in 108 matches. Moreover, if it weren't for his two goals against Syria, the Socceroos could have missed the flight to Russia.
Australia has named eight strikers in their 23-member squad for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup. However, none of them have scored more than eight international goals.
Apart from Tim Cahill, Australia will also be missing the services of Aaron Mooy. The Huddersfield midfielder is ruled out of the tournament owing to a knee injury. Graham Arnold and his team will need to buckle up if they want to defend their title successfully.
