David Pocock will miss the last two Tests against England after fracturing his eye socket in the opening clash in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Wallabies No.8, who is expected to be out for six weeks, will remain with the squad.
“If we want to bring in almost a like-for-like player, then we’ll go with Liam Gill,” coach Michael Cheika said.
“We have options with experience, so we’re fortunate but it’s disappointing to lose a player of David’s quality.
“The skills he brings to the game are superb and there’s that dynamic that we have in the back row with himself, Michael Hooper and Scott Fardy.”
