Greece national team boss Michael Skibbe has named his 31-man squad ahead of their trip to Australia next month.

Skibbe will assemble his players in Athens on May 24 for a pre-tour camp before cutting down his squad for the down under tour which takes in friendlies against the Socceroos in Sydney on June 4 and in Melbourne three days later.

Captain Vasilis Torosidis of AS Roma, Borussia Dortmund defender Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Watford's Jose Holebas, Benfica duo Kostas Mitroglou and Andreas Samaris and Udinese keeper Orestis Karnezis are just a handful of the European-based players that will link up with the 12 Greek Super League stars in the Greek capital to train prior to the Dodoni Series.
