Australia's coach Pim Verbeek has taken a swipe at the Everton manager David Moyes, saying he should be thankful to the Socceroos medical staff for getting Tim Cahill back to fitness.

Cahill has spent the past week in Sydney recovering from a calf injury and did not play any part in the Socceroos' 2-0 win over Uzbekistan on Wednesday.

Moyes has often been scathing of Australia's use of the 29-year-old, especially in regard to him suffering injuries while on national duty.

But Verbeek hit back at Moyes, suggesting the Premier League club should be grateful for the medical rehabilitation Cahill has undergone in 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."

Verbeek plans to play his strongest side in the final three World Cup qualifiers regardless of whether Australia have already qualified.

They need just one point from those games to book a place at the finals in South Africa, but Verbeek will persist with his best side in the matches against Qatar away and Bahrain and Japan at home.

"I don't have the feeling that I will bring a second team on the field when we play here," he said. "The boys deserve to play and the fans deserve to see the players so if they are ready, if they are fit, they will come, they will play and they will have a celebration. That's the plan."
