Marco Rojas is back in the All Whites fold

17 May 2022

The 42-cap attacker's been included for next month's World Cup intercontinental play-off against Costa Rica on June 15, having not played for New Zealand since 2019.

Coach Danny Hay says Rojas has reaped the benefits of being pushed hard by his club coach Tony Popovic at Melbourne Victory.

Defender Michael Boxall also returns, having missed the Oceania qualifying tournament in March.
