Hull City's Callum Elder selected in provisional Socceroos squad

The young full-back could be in line to make his national team debut if he recovers from injury

Australian defender Callum Elder is line to make his Socceroos debut in next month's World Cup qualifiers, if he can make a quick recovery from injury.

Elder's Hull City manager Grant McCann revealed the 24-year-old and team-mate Jackson Irvine had received notification from Socceroos boss Graham Arnold about their selection.

However, Elder suffered a calf strain on his Hull City debut against Wigan Athletic on September 15 and the left-back was still absent when the Tigers downed Luton Town 3-0 on Saturday.
