Maybe Hay has decided that if Marco is unavailable then he isnt needed for the AW's long term? He is 30 after all and we have younger options in his position.
That would be disappointing. Rojas is still a high quality player. I hope we see him at this tournament. Popovic is a prick if he's standing in the way of Rojas joining up with the NZ NT. MV have so much depth, they have guys like Ikonomedes and Folami on the bench. They could do without Rojas for a game or two.
I believe its a injury thing, Not that he is injured but he would prob get injured playing against these island teams. Rojas or his father did say he wont be playing any micky mouse games for the AW a few years back.

WC qualifying tourney isn’t Mickey Mouse stuff.

Sounds like Hay is trying to do the right thing, and not enforcing Poppa to make Rojas available. But fudge it, he’s still quality with a tonne of experience, and coming in post this tourney is too late. He needs to come in now

I doubt he has made himself unavailable for the tourney, but if he has then yes AWs career over. You can’t pick and choose when you play in a WC year. Thomas is different as he’s still battling injury (not playing for PSV), and higher class - whilst yes a few younger players now will push Rojas for his spot in any AWs squad
