SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia coach Ange Postecoglou is concerned that Socceroos such as Robbie Kruse might not get enough playing time in the Chinese Super League under news rules restricting the number of foreigners allowed in each team. Winger Kruse's need for gametime is particularly acute as he made only three appearances in cup competitions for Bayer Leverkusen this season before his move. Australia's campaign to reach a fourth straight World Cup finals reaches the business end this year and the Socceroos are also featuring in the Confederations Cup in Russia. "Robbie, at his best, is more than capable of playing at the highest level. "I believe he can be a key player in our team, and he needs to be now."
