Jacob Italiano
25-Year-Old
Free Agent
Done for World Cup
Italiano (groin) is done for the remainder of the 2026 World Cup, according to the Australian federation.

Italiano will not return with Team Australia as he heads back to Austria to continue recovery with his club, knocked out of the World Cup after a groin injury in training. After being one of the team's stronger players in their first two games, this will leave a major hole for the club. That said, Jordan Bos will likely continue on the right of the defense for Australia due to his absence, while Aziz Behich serves on the left
