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.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.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.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. The former Milwall player moved freely at training yesterday, and was upbeat over his prospects of taking his place in the starting side.'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.'It's all right. I trained today and I had a good run-out.'The thing is I'm not one to dramatise about injuries and things like that.'The only thing is sometimes you have to think about the bigger picture.'This is a friendly and I'm back here to show my commitment to the team and the players.
