With Paris 2024 looming, Tony Gustavsson will be hoping there are no more injury scares after Caitlin Foord went down in Friday night’s draw between the sides. Follow all the action from Accor Stadium.
Tony Gustavsson is wheeling out his big guns tonight. If Friday night’s match at Adelaide Oval was an opportunity for the fringe players, tonight looks more like a dress rehearsal. Steph Catley, Hayley Raso, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Ellie Carpenter are back into the XI - and you’d think Caitlin Foord would be if she didn’t ping her hamstring the other day. She has been named on the bench but I don’t think we will be seeing her tonight.
But most importantly… Lydia Williams has been given a start for what will be her last game on Aussie soil. Hello and welcome to our live coverage of tonight’s friendly between the Matildas and China at a sold-out Accor Stadium.and I’m coming to you live from possibly the best seat in the press box here at Homebush - I’m looking up from my laptop and the centre line is a perfectly straight vertical.Tony Gustavsson is due to name his squad for the Olympics tomorrow morning.
