"Lucas has always been there," said fellow defender Jade North, often a partner in central defence with the 35-year-old veteran, who debuted in 1996.

"He is a very cool head at the back, a very experienced player who is respected throughout the team.

"So this is a game where he will be missed."

After missing a few Socceroo camps through injury, he said it was "just great to be back in the mix".

"I'm feeling excellent personally and physically I'm in the best shape of career so I'm looking to kick on. It's a massive game for me personally."

There has been one change to O'Neill's squad for the match, with Rangers man Andy Little ruled out with a knee complaint and Hull's Corry Evans joining the squad.

Evans missed out on the initial get together due to a quad complaint but passed a fitness test and trained with the side on Sunday afternoon.
