Olyroos selection, with a 3-2 loss to Mexico U23s in Marbella, Spain. Arzani with a goal.
See that Perth's Nic D’Agostino is in Marbella. Don't think he was in the original squad there which only included A League players from Jets & Victory (sides out of playoff chase early) from memory. Does seem that Piscopo (hopefully his shoulder injury healing well) is a real shot of going to Tokyo. Devlin & Laws less so.

Devlin may yet make Tokyo, but looks like his main competitors are based in Europe rather than the A League.
Starting DMs for Olyroos in this Mexico friendly were Tyrese Francois (who recently made his 1st team debut for Fulham in their last EPL game), and Ryan Teague (like Devlin ex SFC Youth) who is on the books at top flight Portuguese side F.C. Famalicão (their U23 side).
Looks like they also have Anthony Kalik (again ex SFC Youth, who now plays in the Croatian top flight with HNK Gorica) & Marc Tokvich (was with WSW, now in Sweden with Mjällby, after a long term injury??), as the other DMs in Marbella.
Olyroos DMs in their last competitive fixture (win over Uzbekistan in AFC Olympic qualifying) were Zach Duncan with AGF in Denmark, and WSW's Keanu Baccus. Josh Laws also had a game as a DM in the same tourney in early 2020.
