Craig Moore to miss Asia Cup

Craig Moore has been given permission by Graham Arnold to miss the Asia Cup. He has struggled with injuries all season and needs to rest to prepare himself for next season.

He is currently without a club, and probably cannot afford to take the risk of getting injured in the Asia Cup, nor miss pre-season with a new club.

Fair enough, which leaves a space wide open for young superstar Matthew Spiranovic.

Coach Arnold was talking him up on Total Football the other night, so I reckon he's in.

Should 18 Year Old Spiranovic be included in the squad? What do you think?
