Verbeek remains optimistic over Kewell
Harry Kewell may not be fit enough to play in Monday's friendly against New Zealand but Socceroos coach Pim Verbeek is confident his talisman will be ready for the opening World Cup game against Germany on June 13.
Kewell has been training three times a day in a bid to overcome the groin injury which has seen him play just a handful of minutes for club side Galatasaray.
Verbeek told a dinner in Melbourne on Monday night that he believed Kewell will be fit for Australia's tournament opener, saying: "I am 100% confident they (the medical staff) can do the job and Harry will be ready."
