Cahill fit for Honduras tie
Veteran talisman Tim Cahill said Monday he had recovered from an ankle injury and was fit to play for Australia in this week's World Cup play-off with Honduras in Sydney.
The country's all-time leading scorer remained on the bench during the goalless first leg in San Pedro Sula on Friday but said he was expecting to make an appearance in Wednesday's do-or-die match to qualify for Russia 2018.
And the 103-cap forward said he would be ready to start if called upon by coach Ange Postecoglou.
"If I had to play in Honduras I definitely would have made a contribution," Cahill told reporters.
"That's what it's all about, putting your body on the line and sacrificing for these two games, for such a big occasion for our country to qualify for a fourth consecutive World Cup."
