Schwarzer still No.1 for World Cup: Osieck Socceroos stalwart Mark Schwarzer has been left out of the national squad for friendlies against France and Canada, but coach Holger Osieck says the 40-year-old is not keeping on borrowed time. Mitch Langerak is set to make his international debut against France in Paris on October 11 (6am AEST, Saturday October 12), having last week had his first taste of the Champions League with German club Borussia Dortmund. Langerak has been on Osieck's radar since first being called into Australia's squad in March 2011, and looms large as Schwarzer's most likely replacement should there be a change between the posts for the 2014 World Cup. "At the present stage, yes," Osieck replied when asked if Schwarzer was his first choice for Brazil, even if he continues to struggle for game time at English Premier League club Chelsea. "It's a very simple one," he said of Schwarzer's omission. I know what he can do and his status in the team. He's our No.1 goalkeeper. But if I keep playing him, what about the others we may need? In particular Mitch Langerak ... I think it's about time for him to show what he can do. Schwarzer is yet to start since transferring to the Blues, but his time as Petr Cech's understudy will come to a temporary end on Wednesday morning (AEST) against League One side Swindon Town. I had a chat with him. We discussed the situation and he told me about his present status," Osieck said. He's definitely getting playing time (in the League Cup clash) and hopefully he's going to be a regular again ... a goalkeeper in particular needs regular playing time. The goalkeeping dilemma is one of many questions hovering over the make-up of Australia's World Cup team, especially after they were hammered 6-0 by Brazil on September 7. The German admits he's unsure of all the answers, having named Europe-based uncapped pair Oliver Bozanic and Jackson Irvine alongside Langerak in a 24-man squad for clash with France and the match against Canada in London on October 15 (6am AEST, Wednesday October 16). Mathew Leckie and Jason Davidson, who have a combined tally of three international caps, Bozanic and Irvine are expected to be given their chance to shine against Canada. "I'm still looking into opportunity for other players, maybe to step up and get into the team," Osieck said. Davidson and David Carney, who went more than a year without playing a professional club game before signing with US outfit New York Red Bulls last month, earned recalls with Osieck admitting "there have been some issues on the left flank." Carney's club teammate Tim Cahill and veteran Luke Wilkshire were named after missing the belting in Brasilia due to injury. Brisbane Roar midfielder Matt McKay and Melbourne Victory captain Mark Milligan were the only A-League representatives in the squad named on Tuesday.
