All Whites name full-strength squad for Mexico friendly
(02-09 14:29)
New Zealand named their strongest possible squad for their World Cup warm-up against Mexico in Los Angeles next month, with only two players missing from the team which clinched qualification last year.
Goalkeeper Mark Paston is still recovering from a fractured leg and defender Ivan Vicelich is serving a one-match suspension, and their places have been taken by Glen Moss and Brentford's Tommy Smith respectively.
Midfielder Craig Henderson, who recently signed for newly promoted Swedish premier league side Mjallby, has also been brought into the squad. Plymouth Argyle striker Rory Fallon, pictured, has been included despite a dispute with the club over his availability for the friendly.
New Zealand will play Mexico on March 3 and travel to Europe in late May for further warm-ups against Serbia and Slovenia.
