The Australian women's national soccer team, the Matildas, are gearing up for the Olympics with a friendly match against Mexico in San Antonio. Despite the absence of a key player, the team is looking to give others a chance to showcase their skills. The match kicks off at 7pm local time.

Heatley shapes as one potentially for the future and it will be interesting to see how much, if any, action she receives tonight. Torpey, meanwhile, continues to shape as something of a swiss army knife for the side, as the former Melbourne City and Preston Lions representative replaces Catley on the left.
Gustavsson’s lineup is in and with Clare Polkinghorne named on the bench, it looks like we’re going to be seeing Catley, who wears the armband in the absence of Kerr, as a centreback. Lydia Williams , Chloe Logarzo , Charlie Rule , Courtney Nevin , Aivi Luik are all unavailable with injury, while injury-replacement call-up Emily Gielnik herself went down with an injury when she suffered a calf strain – something that also casts her in doubt for Melbourne Victory’s crunch elimination final against the Central Coast Mariners on Sunday.
