Squad News
The head coach was asked in the pre-match press conference about the return of striker Sam Kerr to the starting line up after fans got a glimpse at the forward during the victory over Denmark,"I want to be very clear in here now to say if Sam is fit to play 90 minutes, she is starting. There's not even a question and the team knows it."
"Whether she is ready to play 90 minutes plus extra time, that's to be decided tonight. But there is no question whatsoever that if she is, she is starting."
