Australia boss Pim Verbeek feels Everton manager David Moyes should thank the Socceroos for getting Tim Cahill back to fitness.
Cahill has spent the last week in Sydney recovering from a calf injury and did not play any part in the Socceroos' 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Uzbekistan on Wednesday night.
Moyes has often been scathing of Australia's use of the 29-year-old, especially in regards to him suffering injuries while on national duty.
But Verbeek hit back at Moyes, suggesting the English Premier League club should be grateful for the medical rehabilitation Cahill has undergone during his time with Australia.
"Timmy is 100%, if he can play 90 minutes, that's up to my colleague at Everton," Verbeek said. "We bring him back fit, and I think they can be very grateful to our medical staff that they did that job, when he came in, he could not walk.
"So they will be happy with us this time, normally they are not."
