They are expected to arrive in Dhaka just a day before the match.

Postecoglou has been credited with bringing the local side from the dark depths of despair to a team that has made commentators proud to be an Australian for their capacity to stand up to any team without fear.
The match will be held at Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka from 5pm on Tuesday.
Hasan, who also represents Asian Football Confederation, said all the markets and business outlets at the stadium and in the surrounding area will remain shut for two days before the match. “It’s unusual circumstances of course, there’s no hiding that or denying that but all we can do is make sure that whatever concerns and otherwise what people might have is to allay those things and focus on the job at hand”. “It sort of compliments us as well to have him and Mile getting about the pitch”.
Tom Rogic and Tomi Juric will be missing for Australia’s World Cup qualifier against Bangladesh on Tuesday.
Juric was replaced with a groin injury on Thursday night while Rogic had a few quad soreness the morning after the match with Coach Ange Postecoglou deciding to allow the pair to return to their clubs. Probably could have had a couple of goals, and Timmy got his goal but also could have had a couple more, so they worked well together. “I don’t want to make too many changes to the team because obviously I don’t want it to be too disruptive”.
Australia dominated Bangladesh in a 5-0 win in Perth in September and will be eyeing a repeat in Dhaka.

Australia are placed 60th in Federation Internationale de Football Association ranking while Bangladesh are 180th. A win for the Green and Gold would put the pressure back on the Jordanians – who they meet in Australia early next year for what is likely to be a showdown for top spot.
