Key Socceroo Massimo Luongo is excited about what playmaker Tom Rogic will add to the side ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Bangladesh on Thursday.
Ange Postecoglou’s side face Bangladesh in Perth, followed by a trip to Tajikistan five days later.
Ingolstadt's Mathew Leckie scored his first Bundesliga goal, while Celtic's Rogic has impressed and makes his long-awaited national team return.
"When I saw the squad list come out I was quite excited," Luongo told reporters in Perth on Tuesday.
"I haven't actually played with Tom Rogic but just from watching him and from what I've heard it's going to be exciting.
"Especially when he turns up in those pockets and you can give him the ball and trust him on the ball... it's the same with Leckie.
"Unfortunately Robbie Kruse isn't here but the boys we have in the squad, it's really exciting in attack. It will be good to watch, it always is."
"Besides Tommy, the attacking chemistry is already there. We've been working at it long enough, even before the [2014] World Cup," Luongo said.
"Everyone's quite familiar with their roles, even if they play a different position in that front half, everyone gets their roles and other peoples' roles and it will mix well.
"No one plays off the cuff; we all know what we're doing and our roles. It will all be quite smooth."
Bangladesh are winless this year, losing two and drawing three of their five matches - including being beaten by Kyrgyzstan.
