“It’s been a little bit of a challenge to get everyone up to speed, but to then see 100% of the players available for training today was amazing,” Gustavsson added. “It would be incredible,” Catley said about the prospect of finishing on the podium in Paris. “This team has gone through a lot, been together for many, many years, we’ve come close to having some pretty amazing results. It’s definitely something that we want to achieve.
After the encounter with Germany, the Matildas will face Zambia in Nice on Sunday, before concluding the group with a blockbuster clash against long-time rivals the United States in Marseille next week. The Australians need to finish in the top two of group B, or be among the best-ranked third placed teams, to qualify for the quarter-finals.
