Forward Remy Siemsen and defenders Emma Checker and Matilda McNamara have been added to the CommBank Matildas squad ahead of the upcoming internationals against South Africa and Denmark.   The European-based trio will replace Emily van Egmond (quad strain), Tameka Yallop (ankle), Clare Wheeler (minor knee) and forward Kyah Simon who have all been ruled out due to injuries sustained at their clubs prior to the commencement of the October FIFA Women’s International Window.  

The first arrivals for the CommBank Matildas October FIFA International Window entered the assembly in England as the team commenced their preparations for upcoming internationals against South Africa and Denmark.  Several UK-based players, including captain Sam Kerr and vice-captain Steph Catley, were joined by a raft of players from across Europe, the USA and Australia for the first training session in South-West London.  For London-based Catley, the travel into camp was a decidedly atypical affair to those in the past 18 months. 

Australia will close out the October FIFA Women’s International Window with a trip to Midtjylland to face Denmark at Viborg Stadium on Tuesday, 11 October 2022. Kicking off at 6.00 pm local time, it will be the second meeting between the two nations in the last 15 months as they ramp up their preparations for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023™ in earnest. CommBank Matildas head coach Tony Gustavsson was pleased to have secured a second complementary opponent for October.
