The Socceroos have moved to allay fears over Mohamed Toure's fitness ahead of their World Cup opener, insisting the young striker returned to training as normal two days out from facing Turkey.
Toure was absent from Wednesday's training session, sparking speculation over his fitness, but the Socceroos had said they expected him to return to training on Thursday (Friday AEST).
That session was closed, meaning media couldn't verify Toure's attendance, but teammates Jacob Italiano and Aziz Behich both said the striker trained.
"He looked good. Great to have him back amongst the boys," Behich said.
"He's fine, running about, full of energy, so it was nice to see that."
Italiano said with a grin: "Can confirm that Mo was there. Mo was fit. Mo is healthy. It's all good."
