Aussie squad expected to be announced on Friday

The Socceroos squad for the Asia Cup is expected to be announced on Friday.

Rumours persist surrounding player availability.

Can we detect anything by following the media stories.

Scott McDonald has returned to Glasgow. Is this a sign he knows something. I wouldn't expect him to be in the squad..unless Mark Viduka decided not to go.

Carl Valeri is still in Australia. Would he have gone back overseas if he thought he wouldn't make it?

Harry Kewell has been very quiet. Is he still in England?

Tim Cahill has been very noisy, get the feeling Timmy wants to go, and he's here in Australia.

And Josip Skoko is out of contract. I would imagine he'll only go if he has his deal sorted, similar to Craig Moore.

On the other hand, Skoko probably shouldn't go. It would give an opportunity to a younger player.

Any thought on who his going, or not, based on player movements and media reports?

Any thoughts on who will be going based on player comment, movements?
