Socceroos Head Coach Pim Verbeek has selected a squad of 23-players for the Asian Cup Qualifier against Oman on November 14 in Muscat.

Bruce Djite, Brad Jones and Mile Sterjovski also return to the squad for the first time since helping the Socceroos qualify for the World Cup in June.
Goalkeeper Adam Federici receives his first call-up since the World Cup qualification match against Uzbekistan played in Sydney in April of this year.
Last month, the Socceroos defeated Oman 1-0 in their Asian Cup qualifier at Etihad Stadium to move into equal top position of Group B.
