Hull midfielder Richard Garcia will miss Australia's campaign at the Asian Cup due to a knee injury.

Garcia, who played two World cup matches last year in South Africa, will be replaced by winger Tommy Oar, who plays for Dutch side Utrecht.

Australia is the top-ranked team in Asia and one of the favorites at the Asian Cup, which is being held in Doha, Qatar from Jan. 7-29.
