Tom Rogic transfer latest as Celtic hero pictured following Australia boss Graham Arnold's 'concerns'

Tom Rogic transfer latest as Celtic hero pictured following Australia boss Graham Arnold's 'concerns'

TOM ROGIC has been pictured in Sydney with uncertainty surrounding his future.

The Celtic hero left Glasgow this summer and is yet to sign for a new club.

Rogic has been pictured out running in Sydney just days after Australia boss Graham Arnold's expressed "concerns" over the midfielder.

"I haven’t read anything, I haven’t seen anything … I texted him and didn’t get a reply," Arnold said.

"I am concerned about Tommy but I know the PFA are looking into it." 

The Socceroos face New Zealand twice in September, allowing Arnold one last chance to run the rule over his players before selecting a squad for the World Cup.

“With the short turnaround between games, I’ll probably nearly use two different teams, and that gives everyone a good chance then to show me what they’ve got and whether they are ready to go," he added.

“That’s the fairest way to do it. We’ve got a good extended squad now of 30 to 35 players fighting to get into a 26-man World Cup squad.

“The best way to give them a fair chance is to play two different teams against New Zealand, which gives players the opportunity to showcase what they’ve got before we select the squad and to create more depth.”
