Australia will be without star man Tim Cahill for their second Group D clash with Ghana following his sending off against Germany.

The Everton midfielder, who was used in attack by coach Pim Verbeek in their opener, misses out after seeing red during the Socceroos' 4-0 thrashing along with Vince Grella (knee), but Harry Kewell is fully fit for the first time and will be gunning for a place.

Ghana face major injury concerns ahead of Saturday's clash in Rustenburg, with defender Isaac Vorsah unlikely to recover in time, while his first-choice centre-back partner John Mensah is also struggling.
