Kewell scored one and set up another in the Aussies' 3-0 win over Singapore yesterday. His performance earned him the praise of his coach, who was delighted to see him back from injury.

"I'm delighted for Harry. I gave him the captain's armband for the last couple of minutes as a reward for what he's been through," said Arnold.

"He was fantastic when he came on because he gives you an added dimension. Harry came in more central from outside on the wing to be closer to Viduka and I think it's a role that suits him because he's a natural goalscorer.

"The Asian Cup is a massive tournament that we're going into with the results that we want but the tournament is also about getting Harry Kewell back to his best as well."
