Matildas captain Steph Catley appears in doubt for Australia’s Olympics opener against Germany as she battles a lower leg injury. Catley and versatile defender Kaitlyn Torpey have both been ruled out of Sunday’s friendly against Canada in Marbella, Spain with lower leg injuries. While Torpey appears further along and likely to feature against Germany, coach Tony Gustavsson said it was “too early to say” if Catley would be available to face Germany in Marseille on July 25 .
“The only thing I can say is that she’s here now, she has a lower leg injury and we’re doing everything to get her back.” There is some relief, at least, via a late tweaking of Olympic squad rules. Teams will now be able to use their four alternate players during the tournament to temporarily replace any of their 18 squad members for injury, illness, or mental health reasons — provided they give six hours’ notice before a game.
