Now we know which players have Olympic commitments, here is the make up of the squad with some gaps in defence. Rollo said "head coach Giancarlo Italiano will be unable to call on players who are selected in the New Zealand under-23 men's squad for the Paris Olympics", but chances are we will be knocked out by then so maybe they'll make it. May have to call on Tze-Xuan Loke, Gardiner etc. - I'm not super familiar with the academy but players from the 19's OFC Championship will be training with the team. Hopefully Payne is fit by then.
