Poor old Nikko Boxall. This is the 2nd time in the last few months he's basically flown to the UAE for likely not a minute of playing time.
And who slips into Singh's ten spot? Just, Lewis (please no), McCowatt or even Stamenic?

In other team news, Hay said Sarpreet Singh is not available due to a groin niggle he carried into the first game, while centre-back Nikko Boxall has been isolated from the rest of the squad and made to take a Covid-19 test after coming down with an illness.
The outlook is more positive for central midfielder Joe Bell, who missed the Jordan clash with a calf injury but is “highly likely” to be involved against Uzbekistan.

All Whites coach Danny Hay confirmed Sarpreet Singh won't be involved in Uzbekistan game, due to injury.
Hay is hopeful Joe Bell will start, as will Chris Wood, though Newcastle striker unlikely to play 90 mins.
Hay also confirmed that Alex Greive will start.
And it's another 4am NZT kickoff
