Katrina Gorry has been picked in the Matildas' Olympics squad despite question marks over her fitness.
Three years on from a fourth-placed finish in Tokyo, Gustavsson is desperate to lead the Matildas to a medal after reaching the semi-finals at last year's Women's World Cup. "What's important for me and the team is that we focus on what is in front of us. What I can answer, though, is I think all of you know how much I love working with this team," Gustavsson said on Tuesday.
However, she and three other players — Courtney Nevin, Sharn Frier and Charlotte Grant — will still go to Paris as "travelling reserves" and could be called up in case other players are injured or withdraw. The Matildas' group matches are against Germany in Marseille on 25 July, Zambia in Nice on 28 July and the USA in Marseille on 31 July.
