Injury blow puts Taggart in doubt for Socceroos' World Cup qualifier

Adam Taggart's participation in Australia's first World Cup qualifier is in question after the star forward was absent from his K-League team's victory with a hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old didn't feature in the squad for Suwon Bluewings' 1-0 win over Jeju United on Friday night less than 24 hours after the Socceroos squad was named, after suffering the niggle seven days prior in a defeat to Gyeongnam.

While Suwon manager Lee Lim-saeng said the injury wasn't serious in his post-match press conference, Taggart's chances of playing in Socceroos qualifier on the road against Kuwait in only 11 days are in doubt - particularly considering his injury history.
