Qantas Socceroos coach Holger Osieck has made one enforced change to the 18-man squad for the international friendly against Wales in Cardiff (Thursday 11 August, kick off 4.45am AEST).

Adam Sarota of FC Utrecht has joined the squad in Cardiff today, replacing Brett Holman of AZ Alkmaar.

Holman strained a groin muscle in Sunday-s Dutch Eredivisie match against PSV Eindhoven and has remained in Alkmaar to receive treatment.

Sarota was a member of Holger Osieck-s squad for the friendly international against Germany in March this year, but is yet to make his debut. He made two appearances for the Young Socceroos.

The Qantas Socceroos match against Wales can be seen live on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 1 HD from 4.30am AEST this Thursday.
