Cahill to miss Australia's World Cup qualifier in Thailand (The Associated Press)

Tim Cahill has been ruled out of Australia's squad for the Nov. 15 World Cup qualifier in Thailand because of soreness that sidelined him for a domestic game on the weekend. The absence of Australia's leading and most reliable scorer depletes the experience in the 23-man squad, leaving skipper Mile Jedinak (67), Mark Milligan (52) and Robbie Kruse (47) as the only players with more than 36 international caps. Brisbane Roar striker Jamie Maclaren has been called up to take Cahill's place in one of four changes to the squad which had draws at home against Japan and away against Saudi Arabia last month.
