A Westfield Matildas development squad will enter their third camp of the year in Canberra tomorrow.

Westfield Matildas Head Coach Tom Sermanni has selected a 31-player squad for the three day training camp (17-20 April) at the Australian Institute of Sport.

"With the matches in June against New Zealand fast approaching it-s time to start pushing the younger players to force themselves into selection and also for some of the more experienced players to start guiding the team towards competitive football," said Sermanni.

“We are bringing in some of our injured players for treatment too which will help us get a better idea of who will be available for the New Zealand and Japan matches.

“I just read on her Twitter account that Bubs (Westfield Matildas captain Melissa Barbieri) has been given the all clear to train (following ankle surgery) which is a great boost for the squad.
