Gallery: Inside Westfield Matildas training ahead of China challenge

The Westfield Matildas have got straight down to work since getting into camp in Sydney on Monday to prepare for next month’s Olympic Games qualifiers.

Back together for the first time since November’s friendlies against Chile, coach Ante Milicic has put his side through a couple of intense sessions to get them ready for the upcoming trip to China.

Australia need to finish in the top two of their group when they take on Chinese Taipei, Thailand and the host nation from February 3-9 in Wuhan.
