Meanwhile, a number of teams in Europe will also lose their African stars for the AFCON, which gets underway next month.

"You know I won it, don't you?" Postecoglou said when asked for of the Asia Cup

"So I rank it pretty highly, I think it's pretty important. 

"A lot of European people think the Euros are pretty important - well, it's the same for the Asian Cup or the African Cup of Nations."

The Australian tactician also aimed a little dig at Son ahead of the Asia Cup.

"I hope Sonny goes on and finishes runner-up to Australia again, mate," he said. "I'd be really happy about that."
