Socceroos coach Holger Osieck has declared Tim Cahill a certain starter in Sunday morning's Asian Cup quarter-final against Iraq.
Cahill picked up a bad knock to his thigh in the 1-0 win over Bahrain on Tuesday and missed two days of training with the squad in Doha.
But Osieck said Cahill would be right to take his place up front for Australia alongside Harry Kewell in the knockout clash at Al Sadd Stadium.
Winger Brett Holman also missed training on Thursday night but the German said both absences were precautionary.
"I can assure you the boys are ready," Osieck said.

"The reason why two of the boys didn't train was simply for treatment.
"Timmy for instance had a knock on his thigh in the dying stages of the game but our medical staff did a terrific job, he's definitely on the pitch tomorrow."
Osieck said at Friday's pre-match press conference in Doha he could have a full squad to pick from but it is believed midfielder Jason Culina is unlikely to return from an ongoing knee problem.
Luke Wilkshire (groin) and David Carney (shoulder) look set to make their comebacks though after sitting out the Bahrain game.
Australia will be out for revenge against Iraq, who beat them 3-1 in the group stages of the 2007 Asian Cup but captain Lucas Neill insisted history would count for nothing in Doha.
"We're not going to rely on the history of other results going into this game," he said.
"Our mental approach is this is 90 minutes of a game that we will start 0-0."
