Leeds United strikers in Aussie team

Leeds United strikers Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka were both included on Friday in the Australian soccer squad for next month's Sydney Olympics.

But Australia's high-profile goalkeeper Mark Bosnich was not selected after ruling himself out of the tournament.

The 18-man squad included just five Australian-based players. Dutch-based midfielder Brett Emerton was chosen captain.

Australia are drawn in pool B with Atlanta gold medallists Nigeria, Italy and Honduras.
