Features with Socceroos Okon-Engstler was in the starting lineup for Tuesday's clash against Brazil, fully fit to feature moving forward, according to the national team.

Impact Okon-Engstler had been left out of Koln's traveling squad for the match against Hamburger SV for sporting reasons rather than injury, an absence that had opened up more time for Luca Waldschmidt. This international start confirms he is fully healthy, positioning him to push for a return to Koln's lineup once the international break concludes.

Impact Okon-Engstler has not been selected for the team for Saturday despite a starting role in two of the three games to open the season. However, it is not due to injury, as he has instead been left out for sporting reasons, as other players get into the team. This should open up some more time for Luca Waldschmidt, although Okon-Engstler will likely return to the team sheet soon.
