Blues Duo Set For Wembley Action
Friday, 13th Oct 2023 10:32

Blues duo Cameron Burgess and Massimo Luongo could line up for Australia when they face England at Wembley this evening, while young keeper Cieran Slicker could add to his Scotland U21 international caps.

Burgess and Luongo will hope to win their second and 44th caps for the Socceroos respectively when they face the Three Lions in tonight’s friendly (Channel 4, KO 7.45pm).

The pair have been involved in a training camp with their teammates this week before taking to the Wembley turf for a session last night.

“It will be a great occasion in a massive stadium. with a full house, so it’s one we’re really looking forward to,” Burgess told the club site.

“I’ve got some family coming down from Scotland and my mum and dad coming over from Australia, so a few people coming to watch.

“It’s been good to be back with the boys again and it brings you different experiences, so it's been a good week’s work.

“There are different perspectives and different ways of doing things, but the message has been to keep doing the things that have got you here in the first place, which is what everyone will bring to the team.”

Australia subsequently face New Zealand at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium on Tuesday.

Slicker and Scotland’s U21s take on Hungary in a Euro 2025 qualifier at Fir Park, Motherwell this evening. The Town keeper will be looking to win his 10th U21s cap.

The young Scots take on Malta in another qualifier on Tuesday, also at Fir Park.

Another Town keeper, 18-year-old Henry Gray, is with New Zealand for their friendly against DR Congo in Spain but is unlikely to play despite having been handed a squad number for the fixture.

It would be amazing to see them both at Wembley. Absolutely brilliant for the pair of them and the club. With young Slicker hopefully continuing for the Scots U21's, it has been an amazing International series for Ipswich players. Congratulations to all that have been involved.
