Kewell confident of shaking off injury

AUSTRALIA winger Harry Kewell is "on track" to recover from a groin injury in time to face Germany in his country's World Cup opener.

The 31-year-old former Leeds and Liverpool forward was named in the preliminary squad last week but is still struggling with a problem picked up while playing for Galatasaray. "I'm doing all the right things. Nothing's pulling up short and it's all going on track," he said.
