SYDNEY — Len Ikitau has regained his place in the Australian rugby union team following his recovery from an ankle problem that sidelined him in recent weeks.
The centres' inclusion in the squad for the upcoming Argentina tour was confirmed on Wednesday, signalling his fitness ahead of the two international fixtures in South America.
The recall represents a boost for Australia's backline depth as the Wallabies prepare for the challenging assignment against the Pumas. Ikitau's return to squad contention comes after the injury forced him out of previous commitments.
The tour will provide Ikitau an opportunity to rebuild match fitness and reassert his credentials in the Australian midfield ahead of further international commitments.
