Sydney: Matildas head coach Alen Stajcic has announced a 21-strong squad ahead of next week’s two-match international friendly series against China PR in Melbourne and Geelong.
Headlined by star forward Sam Kerr, the squad for the matches on November 22 and 26 is brimming with experience, and features 13 players with 50 or more international appearances.
Adelaide United goalkeeper Eliza Campbell is the only uncapped player, while 17-year-old defender Ellie Carpenter retains her place in the senior squad after representing Australia at last month’s AFC U-19 Women’s Championship in China.
With the Australian W-League in full swing, the vast majority of the players selected come from local clubs, with only Vegalta Sendai’s Caitlin Foord and FFC Turnbine Potsdam’s Elise Kellond-Knight currently playing their club football abroad.
