Foxes defender Souttar in Australia World Cup squad
Harry Souttar was part of the Leicester squad relegated from the Championship last season
- Published
Leicester City defender Harry Souttar has been named in the Australia squad for the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico which starts next week.
He managed only two games for Leicester last season because of a ruptured Achilles tendon which he sustained while on loan at Sheffield United in 2024.
The 27-year-old has already made 37 appearances for the Socceroos, scoring 11 goals, and featured for them at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar where he started all four games as they were beaten in the last 16 by eventual tournament winners Argentina.
Souttar was born in Aberdeen but despite featuring for Scotland's under-17 team, he switched his allegiance to Australia in 2019.
Australia are in Group D for the tournament alongside Paraguay, Turkey and co-hosts, the USA. They start their campaign against Turkey on Sunday, 14 June.
