Mystery surrounded Alanna Kennedy's late withdrawal from Australia's clash with England, but the Matildas have since confirmed the defender has delayed concussion symptoms.
abc.net.au/news/fifa-womens-world-cup-matildas-alanna-kennedy-concussion/102745728The Matildas will be without concussed defender Alanna Kennedy for their Women's World Cup third-place play-off against Sweden.
The 28-year-old's absence is a huge blow to Australia's hopes of winning Saturday's play-off at Lang Park in Brisbane. Kennedy's presence in defence and at attacking set pieces will again be missed against Sweden, whose central defender Amanda Ilestedt has proved a threat at both ends of the park during the tournament.
