Italy v Australia - Starting Line-Ups - Liverpool's Harry Kewell Failing Late Fitness Test - Blackburn Rovers' Emerton Suspended

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Mon, 26/06/2006 - 15:04.

Italy face Australia in their first knockout match in the World Cup Finals with Italy without Alessandro Nesta and Daniele de Rossi and Australia missing Liverpool’s Kewell and Blackburn’s Emerton.

One player definitely missing for the Australia head coach Guus Hiddink’s Socceroos is Blackburn Rovers midfielder Brett Emerton who misses the match through suspension, with Luke Wilkshire will take up Emerton’s place on the right-hand side.

Kewell, who scored a vital goal against Croatia, has been struggling to be fit in time for the match and failed in a late fitness test.
