Australian defender Harry Souttar is determined to prove his place in the national World Cup squad after overcoming a debilitating series of injuries. Having recently returned to play, Souttar is focused on regaining the form that made him a key player in Australia's 2022 World Cup journey.

Sidelined for over a year due to Achilles and knee injuries, the Socceroo made a successful return for Leicester last month. Despite the challenges of injury setbacks and surgeries, Souttar remains optimistic and prepared to battle for his spot in Tony Popovic's final 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup.

With the Australian team set to face trials against Turkey, Paraguay, and co-hosts the United States, Souttar is competing against formidable teammates for a position. His past defensive feats, particularly those against Tunisia and Denmark, continue to inspire as he embarks on this critical phase of his career.
