Key points: Four top young Australian players face sanctions after a big night out in Cambodia The players are members of the under-23 'Olyroos' team The incident has only just come to light because it took months to investigate, due to its "complexity" The ABC can reveal Football Federation Australia (FFA) will demand up-and-coming forward Lachlan Wales, young defender Nathaniel Atkinson and midfielders Brandon Wilson and Riley McGree explain their alleged behaviour, under a formal "show cause" process.
McGree, who has recently signed a three-year contract with Adelaide United, is captain of the national under-23 side.
The show-cause process — which provides the players with an opportunity to respond to the FFA's findings — follows an ABC investigation that uncovered a complaint lodged earlier this year to Sport Australia, the nation's rebranded sports commission, through a freedom of information enquiry.
