Tim Cahill declares to be “available” for crucial Honduras playoff

Tim Cahill has declared himself available to play against Honduras in the crucial 2018 World Cup qualifying playoff on Wednesday night, as reported by The Guardian.

The 37-year-old forward has only recently returned to full training following his ankle injury in Melbourne City’s 1-0 defeat by Sydney FC earlier this month.

When The Guardian reporter asked about his fitness, Cahill stated he was ready to start if that’s what coach Ange Postecoglou wants.

“If I had to play in Honduras I definitely would have made a contribution,” the Australia all-time greatest scorer said.

“That’s what it’s all about, putting your body on the line and sacrificing for these two games, for such a big occasion for our country to qualify for a fourth consecutive World Cup.”
