McGree sustained a foot injury early in the first half of Thursday's match and was substituted by Bos, who himself exited the field with a knee injury just before halftime.
"McGree and Bos were sent for scans following the match, with the Socceroos' medical team now in consultation with Middlesbrough (McGree) and KVC Westerlo (Bos) on treatment plans," the FA said in a statement. "There has been no return to play timelines set for either player, with both Bos and McGree to be reviewed by club medical staff on their return."
