CommBank Matildas’ defenders Steph Catley and Kaitlyn Torpey will be unavailable for this weekend’s upcoming match against Canada in Marbella, Spain.
Australia will host world number eight Canada on Saturday, 13 July 2024 (local) at 9.00pm CEST in their final hit out before the Paris 2024™ Olympic Games.
Catley will continue to rehabilitate following a lower leg injury sustained prior to arriving in Australia’s extended training camp last week.
Torpey sustained a lower leg injury and was placed on the unavailable list for San Diego Wave’s National Women’s Soccer League match against the Portland Thorns on 6 July.
Both players will remain with the squad in the extended training camp during their rehabilitation.
Defender Winonah Heatley has been called up as an additional training player for the July FIFA Women’s International Window. The 23-year-old enters the camp off the back of a strong season in Denmark.
The FC Nordsjælland captain helped her side to their first Elitedivisionen title, scoring a decisive goal in the final match of the season to clinch the league. Days later Heatley completed the double as FC Nordsjælland lifted the Danish Cup to claim a historic feat.
Following this match against Canada, Australia’s Olympic Squad – led by captain Steph Catley – will relocate to Marseille, France ahead of their opening match against Germany on 25 July 2024.
Fans will also be able to watch the CommBank Matildas match against Canada this weekend live and exclusive on Paramount+.
