Jets players Adam Taggart and Mark Birighitti will both travel to Brazil as part of the Socceroos’ 27-man squad, but the coach says Josh Brillante missed out because Australia has a wealth of talent in midfield.
“I wanted to bring him in because I rate him highly, he’ll be a player who’ll be called up again.”
