Schwarzer expects ball to provide a test
Fulham star Mark Schwarzer says the new World Cup ball will test goalkeepers to the full - especially at altitude.[LNB] The Australia and Fulham number one is grateful he has 19 days of preparation in South Africa before their opening game against Germany on June 13.[LNB]Schwarzer, who is likely to face Denmark in a warm-up match tomorrow in Johannesburg after recovering from a thumb injury, said: "The ball is difficult.[LNB]"You have got to take time to adjust to it. That's why being here so much earlier is enabling us to do that.[LNB]"It's not pretty but everyone is in the same boat and you just have to get on with it."[LNB]Blackburn midfielder Brett Emerton is unlikely to be risked by coach Pim Verbeek after returning to full training following a calf injury. Harry Kewell also looks certain to sit out the game due to a groin problem.
