Blues centre-half Cameron Burgess is on the bench for Australia’s opening AFC Asian Cup group game against India at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar this morning (KO 11.30am).

If he makes it onto the field, Burgess, 28, will be winning his fifth cap.

Australia, who are in Group B, subsequently face Syria at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha on Thursday, before completing their group games against Uzbekistan at the Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah on Tuesday 23rd January.

The Socceroos are expected to do well in the competition and if they reach the final the first game Burgess would be available for Town would be the Millwall away match on St Valentine’s Day.

Yesterday, the hosts, the current holders of the cup, beat Lebanon 3-0 in Group A in the tournament’s opening fixture.

In the UK, the whole tournament is being broadcast by TrillerTV, formerly FITE, via their website or app.
