Alessandro Circati, the 19-year-old Parma defender, has earned a first call-up to the Socceroos squad after declaring his allegiance to Australia ahead of the friendly against Argentina in a selection coup for coach Graham Arnold.
Arnold on Tuesday named an inexperienced 23-man squad for next week’s one-off match against the world champions, to be played at Beijing’s Workers’ Stadium, as he looks to run the rule over some new faces as part of his team’s ongoing preparations for the Asian Cup in January.
