Soccer-Australia captain Jedinak ruled out of Oman match

MELBOURNE, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Australia captain Mile Jedinak has been ruled out of Tuesday's Asian Cup clash with Oman after suffering an ankle injury in the Socceroos' 4-1 win over Kuwait on Friday. "We've decided to rule Mile out of the Oman game after he copped an ankle injury against Kuwait," coach Ange Postecoglou said in a statement on Sunday. "He's not quite right to play and at this stage of the tournament we are better to give it a few days extra rest and we will re-assess where he's at for the game against Korea Republic."
