Cahill fit for Honduras showdown

AFP, SYDNEY: 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.
