Captain Costa Barbarouses heads the casualty list in one of four changes coach Colin Tuaa has made to his starting XI for New Zealand’s final group phase match at the FIFA U-17 Men’s World
Cup in South Korea.
The Wellington Phoenix front-runner, goalkeeper Jake Gleeson, midfielder Hamish Chang and defender Tim Myers have been relegated to the bench for the match against North Korea in Ulsan on Friday
night (8pm NZT, Sky Sport 3).
Christchurch Rangers’ Adam Cowen comes in for Myers who is suspended after picking up second successive booking against England while Gleeson, a standout in New Zealand’s two big losses to date, is
rested to give Michael O’Keeffe a chance. O’Keeffe will wear the captain’s arm-band.
