Despite this Van Marwijk, who was appointed in January following the sudden departure of Ange Postecoglou, knows his experience and talisman-like status among Australian fans could make a difference, describing him as "a special case".
Although the 32-man-squad will be cut down to 26 before Karacic has the opportunity to appear for Australia in either pre-World Cup friendly against Hungary or Czech Republic, van Marwijk will now have a brief opportunity to compare Karacic against the best Australia has to offer.
"He is a special case. he is special in everything", van Marwijk said.
Defenders: Aziz Behich, Milos Degenek, Alex Gersbach, Matthew Jurman, Fran Karacic, James Meredith, Josh Risdon, Trent Sainsbury, Aleksandar Susnjar, Bailey Wright. He also has a problem that he is suspended for the last three games.
The NK Lokomotiva rightback plies his trade in the Croatian first division - Prva HNL - for the sixth-placed side from Zagreb. "He is not 19, but he is a player who can make a difference and a player who will not be nervous in front of 80,000 people".
"He is young and must learn a lot but he is a player who can make a difference".
There were few shocks in the makeup of the squad with van Marwijk sticking with the experienced core of players who guided the Socceroos through the long qualifying phase although the Dutchman did include one surprise by picking uncapped defender Fran Karacic.

Suarez started and finished off a quick attack when he played Roberto clear down the hole left by Marcelo on the right flank. In the last five head to head records between these two sides, Barcelona won three games and Real Madrid won two games.
"I have to make a choice and that will not be easy but that's why I am here". All 26 players from Van Marwijk's first selection have been retained.
"I had a good experience with the 26 players in the 10 days that I worked with them [for friendlies against Norway and Colombia], so I had no reason not to nominate them again".
"He plays only right-back and we don't have a lot of players in that position.it's a position we discuss a lot".
The Dutchman, who led the Netherlands to the 2010 World Cup final, otherwise found space for all the usual suspects in his 32-man party, which he will cut down to 23 before the Federation Internationale de Football Association deadline on June 4.
"We have travelled extensively and watched many, many matches because we want to get as much information on as many players as possible".
"He's playing games, before March he didn't play every game". There are two remaining friendlies to play before the team head to Russian Federation - against the Czech Republic on 1 June and Hungary on 10 June.
The Socceroos face France, Denmark and Peru in Group C at the June 14-July 15 finals.
