Concerns are mounting over the fitness of Socceroos star Mo Toure, with the striker notably absent from training just days before Australia's opening World Cup fixture against Türkiye. The team is scheduled to play its first match of the tournament soon, adding urgency to the situation.

While Toure was present at the training ground earlier on Wednesday for a team photo session, he was not sighted during the portion of the training session that was open to the media. The rest of the Socceroos squad was observed going through a warm-up during this period.

As of Wednesday evening local time, the Socceroos management has yet to issue any official statement regarding Toure's fitness or his absence from training. Defenders Jordan Bos and Milos Degenek are scheduled to address the media later on Wednesday, and it is anticipated that Toure's condition may be a topic of discussion.
