Norwich City striker Mohamed Toure has been called up by Australia for this summer’s World Cup.
The 22-year-old has been named in head coach Tony Popovic’s 26-man squad as the Socceroos kick-off their campaign against Turkey on 14 June before facing tournament co-hosts USA and a final group game against Paraguay.
Toure played 80 minutes in Australia’s 1-0 friendly defeat by Mexico at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena at the weekend.
After arriving from Danish club Randers in the winter transfer window, Toure scored 10 goals in 12 appearances in his first season for the Canaries.
His selection follows the news that Toure’s Norwich team-mate, Ali Ahmed, was announced in the Canada squad for this summer’s tournament on Saturday.
