(Reuters) - Australia winger Martin Boyle has been ruled out of their Asian Cup campaign due to a left knee injury, the Football Federation of Australia (FFA) said on Tuesday. Scotland-born Boyle sustained the injury in Sunday's 5-0 friendly win over Oman and will return to club side Hibernian to continue his rehabilitation. Boyle said he was "gutted" to miss the tournament in the United Arab Emirates. Defending champions Australia, who are already without midfielders Daniel Arzani and Aaron Mooy due to knee injuries, will name a replacement for Boyle in the coming days. The Asian Cup begins on Jan. 5, with the Socceroos opening their campaign against Jordan in Al Ain the following day.
