Former Socceroos' boss Graham Arnold will seek to reach the finals of another World Cup after taking the reins as coach of Iraq.

With Jackson Irvine sidelined, Tony Popovic faces a defining selection dilemma as the Socceroos prepare for two high-stakes World Cup qualifiers that will determine their path to 2026.

Yukinari Sugawara hopes a recent international high can help his bid to help Southampton avoid relegation.
