Matildas name three uncapped players in squad for October friendlies
Matildas coach Joe Montemurro names three uncapped players in his squad of 26 for October's friendlies against Germany and Haiti.
The Australian women's national soccer team, known as the Matildas, has announced a 26-player squad for upcoming friendlies against Germany and Haiti in October. Three uncapped players have been named for the matches, which will take place in Europe on October 10 and 14. Midfielder Hana Lowry, who previously suffered a severe ACL injury, has been recalled to the national team.
Former Sydney defender Tori Tumeth and Melbourne Victory's Courtney Newbon are also included in the list of uncapped players. These selections come as the Matildas prepare for the FIFA Women's World Cup in June 2023, with only a few international breaks remaining. Coach Joe Montemurro emphasized the importance of these games in building the team's confidence and development.
The squad features a mix of experienced players, those returning after previous matches, and players earning their first senior call-ups.
