Burns in, Jeggo out of Socceroos squad

Nathan Burns has earned a Socceroos reprieve, coming into Ange Postecoglou's 23-man squad to replace the injured Jimmy Jeggo.

The uncapped Jeggo has been ruled out with a minor glute strain, with Burns recalled for the crucial upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Iraq and the United Arab Emirates.

Burns had been in Postecoglou's initial 30-man squad but was cut because of a lack of recent minutes for his Japanese club FC Tokyo.

Socceroos: Mustafa Amini, Aziz Behich, Nathan Burns, Tim Cahill, Milos Degenek, Rhyan Grant, Jackson Irvine, Mile Jedinak, Tomi Juric, Robbie Kruse, Mitchell Langerak, Mathew Leckie, Massimo Luongo, Riley McGree, Mark Milligan, Aaron Mooy, Mathew Ryan, Trent Sainsbury, Brad Smith, James Troisi, Daniel Vukovic, Rhys Williams, Bailey Wright.
