Australian striker James McLaren indicated today, Thursday, that he is "not part of national team coach Graham Arnold's plans for the Asia Cup," and may be considering international retirement. McLaren stated, "Yes, I won’t go. I am realistic. I understand that. I have some things that bother me at the moment. And they still bother me." The Melbourne City striker confirmed his exclusion one day before the announcement of the Australian national team's squad for the Asia Cup, set to be revealed tomorrow, Friday. The all-time leading scorer in the Australian league has scored four goals in eight matches with Melbourne City this season, but is also struggling with an ankle issue.
