Marcus Younis targeted for Socceroos call-up amid injury concerns

Marcus Younis, a 21-year-old winger currently playing for Brondby in Denmark, is being considered for a Socceroos call-up ahead of upcoming matches against Brazil in Townsville and Brisbane. Julius Ohnesorge, the sports director at Brondby, has advocated for Younis's inclusion, stating the player offers pace, physicality, and the ability to beat defenders, which could provide a unique dimension to the Australian squad.

Younis's potential selection comes as the national team looks toward a new cycle and faces injury concerns. Sassuolo attacker Cristian Volpato is currently undergoing scans for a hamstring injury that could sideline him for at least six weeks, potentially opening a spot for Younis in the squad to be announced on September 18.
