One-game ban for Cahill
Australia were today boosted by the news key man Tim Cahill will only miss one World Cup game following his sending-off against Germany.
The Socceroos were concerned Cahill’s red card against the Germans – shown for a poor challenge on Bastian Schweinsteiger – would rule him out for the remainder of the group phase.
But FIFA confirmed today the Everton man will only be unavailable for the clash with Ghana on June 19.
Australia were beaten 4-0 by Germany and must avoid defeat against the Africans in Rustenburg if they are to have any realistic hope of advancing to the knockout phase.
