Ryan Strain insists he won’t be shying away from tackles for St Mirren to ensure his World Cup dream stays in one piece. The Saints full-back is praying he stays injury-free as he looks to force his way into Australia manager Graham Arnold’s final 26-man squad who will head to Qatar next month.Arnold stressed the importance of all his potential picks being as fit as they’ve ever been to stand a chance of muscling their way into the reckoning, with his final squad set to be revealed early in November.St Mirren midfielder Keanu Baccus is also hoping to make a late claim for a spot and 25-year-old Strain, who made his debut for the Socceroos in September against New Zealand, revealed he will continue to give “100 per cent” for the Buddies despite the risk of an injury dashing his World Cup hopes.Strain told Renfrewshire Live Sport: “Everyone is talking about the World Cup at the moment.“I’ve heard they’ll announce the final squad on November 8, so I guess we have two or three more games to try and do something.“For me it’s just about trying to get the right results for St Mirren and hopefully that follows.
You just have to park it up and focus on St Mirren. If you are performing here then hopefully they can see that. Everything should fall into place from there.“We’re getting daily check-ups from the physios at the moment, that’s the only real feedback.
There were 55 people in the last squad so they are checking up on them, but nothing as yet from the coaches.“The Australia physio just told me to keep going.
That’s what I am planning to do and hopefully I will see my name on the list. When you’re a kid growing up, you think about the World Cup.
