WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Football Federation Australia (FFA) have decided to assess the extent of midfielder Aaron Mooy's knee injury, after his English Premier League side Huddersfield Town ruled him out of the Asian Cup.

Huddersfield said Mooy would miss the Socceroos' Asian Cup defence in the UAE next month, having torn a ligament in his knee that would keep him out of action until February.
