The Melbourne City flyer has got his recognition for an outstanding A-League season

Daniel Arzani and Fran Karacic are among six additions announced in the 32-man preliminary list of players for Australia's World Cup campaign.

Coach Bert Van Marwijk revealed 19-year-old Melbourne City flyer Arzani and 21-year-old Croatian based right-back Karacic would be part of the initial squad for Russia at a press conference in Sydney on Monday.

Van Marwijk explained why Arzani missed his last squad and revealed he will take him to Russia if he can have an impact off the bench in games.
