Everton FC star Tim Cahill is ready to push himself to limit for club and country
TIM Cahill is ready to put his body on the line again - this time to prove his loyalties are split equally between Everton and Australia.[LNB]The 30-year-old has flown to Sydney to train with the Socceroos for their forthcoming friendly against Paraguay, despite still nursing a knee injury.[LNB]But patriotic Cahill, who played 90 minutes with the same niggle against Birmingham City last weekend, is prepared to push himself - without risking a more serious problem.[LNB]The Everton talisman has emphasised that his mind is equally focussed on the forthcoming Merseyside derby, but he made the 24-hour flight home to prove his ongoing commitment to Holger Osieck's Asian Cup preparations.[LNB] The former Milwall player moved freely at training yesterday, and was upbeat over his prospects of taking his place in the starting side.[LNB]'It's hard and it's up to the manager and obviously we have good personnel who can hopefully do a great job against Paraguay, but if everything goes well this week then I have every possible chance,' Cahill said.[LNB]'It's all right. I trained today and I had a good run-out.[LNB]'The thing is I'm not one to dramatise about injuries and things like that.[LNB]'The only thing is sometimes you have to think about the bigger picture.[LNB]'This is a friendly and I'm back here to show my commitment to the team and the players.
