Gustavsson on Monday revealed the list of 23 players he will take into camp ahead of the tournament on home soil, having cut six from a provisional squad that was put through its paces at an intensive training camp on the Gold Coast over the past two weeks. The experienced Simon, capped times by her country and heading to her third World Cup, did enough over the past fortnight to warrant her inclusion, despite not having played a competitive game since tearing her ACL while playing for her club, Tottenham, last year. Manchester City defender Kennedy, who has caps to her name, has been plagued by injury recently but also got the nod despite not having run out for the Matildas, who head into the tournament ranked 10th in the world, since September.

Gustavsson said concern a month ago over the spate of injuries and lack of game time had eased, and he expected a fully fit squad to be ready for the opening game against Ireland on 20 July. If not, player replacements are allowed to be made up to 24 hours in advance of the big kick-off.
