Overview
- Robertson rejoined Australia’s camp this week and said he left a past paperwork issue to others and cannot recall its details, while stating he is committed to the Socceroos.
- Coach Tony Popovic has said a paperwork problem kept him out during a near two-year gap, and the midfielder was brought back into the squad in October without seeing the field.
- The Cardiff playmaker can press his case Friday in a friendly against Cameroon at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, with World Cup places running short.
- His season for Cardiff includes five goals and two assists, which boosts his claim as Jackson Irvine remains in Europe to manage a foot injury.
- Though also eligible for England, Scotland and Peru, Robertson says he always chose Australia, a stance set against recent cases like Adrian Segecic picking Croatia and Cristian Volpato signaling Italy, which local reports cast as rising pressure to secure dual nationals.
