Socceroos squad: Massimo Luongo returns for Australia

Australia coach Graham Arnold has made a number of notable squad changes for the Socceroos' two upcoming friendlies.

Luongo headlines the fresh inclusions, with the 31-year-old returning to the national team fold for the first time in four years following strong form in the Championship with Ipswich Town. 

Left-back Jordy Bos is back in the side after a bout with appendicitis, while right-back Lewis Miller has earned his debut call-up.

In a boost for Australia, midfielder Jackson Irvine has been named after recovering from an ankle injury suffered in the country's previous friendly against Mexico.
