The Matildas defender will play her first Champions League football since she tore her ACL in the final of the same competition a year ago.
The Matildas are set to play a two-match friendly series against Scotland and reigning European Champions England in London on the 7th and 12th of April respectively.
"Sam, for me, is one of the best strikers in the world. She's fast, she can score really at any moment. She's very dangerous. So to keep her off the ball as much as possible [and] stop her runs in behind, I think will be crucial." That didn't stop her from celebrating, though, with a video of Carpenter in a leg brace hopping across the field going viral.
"I didn't really think about my injury or my knee, you know? I knew that was done. I knew I did something bad. I was just in the moment and celebrating with the team."
