Grant made another huge contribution on Tuesday, scoring his first international goal in the Socceroos' 1-0 win over Vietnam in their 2022 World Cup qualifier in Hanoi. With Australia unable to host World Cup qualifiers due to its strict COVID-19 quarantine regime, joining the Socceroos has meant a big sacrifice for Grant, who may end up spending two months away from home. "I’m so grateful for Rhyan himself," Arnold told Australian media after the Vietnam win. Australia do not play their next qualifier until Oct. 7 against Oman and then Oct. 12 away to Japan but Grant will continue to stay overseas during the A-League off-season. "It's a pretty quick turnaround between these windows so I've got I think, three weeks ... to keep fit and keep training," he said.
