Dario Vidosic is looking to concentrate on his club career in Germany after moving on loan to Arminia Bielefeld.
The 23-year old Australian international will not be picked for the Socceroos squad to travel to Qatar for the 2011 Asian Cup next month as he wants to become a regular in the 2.Bundesliga as he undergoes another loan from FC Nuremberg.
"(Socceroos coach) Holger (Osieck) understood that I needed to play," Vidosic told the Courier-Mail.
"There's a bit of sadness about not going to the Asian Cup, but I also have to look at the big picture, and that's about needing to play every week. That's something I've missed.
"This is a very good move to me. Week in, week out, the pressure of having to win to stay up - it's going to be a great learning curve."
