Exclusive: Langerak left out of Socceroos’ World Cup squad in bombshell decision | VinceRugari
that Langerak has been omitted from Arnold’s final 26-man squad for Qatar, which will be officially revealed at 4pm on Tuesday.Langerak, 34, has been in career-best form at Nagoya Grampus, was recently named as the Japanese club’s player of the season, and last year broke his own J1 League record for clean sheets.
But the fact he has been left out altogether will come as a major shock, with Central Coast Mariners gloveman Danny Vukovic and Sydney FC’s ‘Grey Wiggle’ Andrew Redmayne believed to have gotten the nod over him as back-ups to skipper Mathew Ryan - all of whom have long histories with Crawley, who masterminded the plan to deploy Redmayne in the Socceroos’ penalty shootout win over Peru that confirmed their place in the World Cup.
Ryan, who is expected to be passed fit and will travel to Doha despite the injury, had welcomed Langerak’s return to the Socceroos fold in an interview with this masthead in September.“As soon as he texted me to tell me that he was retiring, I already flagged it with him then that I sensed there was going to be a comeback,” Ryan said.
