Australia Midfielder Robertson Says Socceroos Allegiance Never ...
Alex Robertson ended a two-year absence caused by paperwork issues and availability, now competing for a World Cup spot with five goals and two assists this season at Cardiff City.
- At Socceroos training on Monday, Alex Robertson returned in person after a two-year absence following his recall to the squad late last year.
- Following questions about missing paperwork, Socceroos coach Tony Popovic said Robertson was ineligible last year due to a paperwork issue and had made himself unavailable, sparking speculation about his future.
- Robertson said on Tuesday 'There was never really any thought to go anywhere else. It was always Australia', having five goals and two assists this season for Cardiff and two senior caps, last in June 2023.
- The upcoming friendlies — Friday's friendly against Cameroon at Accor Stadium and the Curacao match in Melbourne next week — could be Robertson's last chance to impress coach Tony Popovic.
- After an October call-up that produced no minutes, Tony Popovic’s selection for away friendlies in Canada and the United States highlighted unresolved administrative eligibility issues.
