Cardiff City’s Alex Robertson is setting the record straight! After battling early-season injuries, the talented midfielder has made a stellar comeback, securing his spot in the first team. Now, with 23 league appearances under his belt, Alex is proudly representing Australia during this international window.
Reflecting on his journey, Alex shared, “I was in a tough spot when I had my hamstring injury, but I focused on recovery and getting back to my best.” His dedication has not only boosted his club career but also earned him a call-up to the Australian squad, as they gear up for the World Cup this summer, facing teams like Cameroon and Curacao.
Despite previous eligibility for England, Alex has always felt a deep connection to Australia. “There was never really any thought to go anywhere else,” he said, dispelling rumours of switching allegiances. Growing up Down Under, playing for the Socceroos was a dream he’s held since childhood.
Alex is ready to give it his all on the international stage: “Just going into training, doing my best, and hopefully getting more game time. Playing for my country means everything to me.”
A comeback story that shows persistence truly pays off! Bluebirds fans, cheer on Alex as he represents Australia on the world stage! 🌟⚽ #CardiffCity #Socceroos #WorldCupDreams
