Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum says he is not thinking about injuries in the Australian team ahead of their Group B clash at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The Matildas will be without captain Sam Kerr, Mary Fowler and Aivi Luik for the game.
Kerr is ruled out due to a calf injury he sustained in training.

Fowler and Luik suffered concussion in training on Tuesday and will sit out the encounter at the Brisbane Stadium as a precaution.
” Well, we never like to see players injured, and I know how devastating that is, missing matches in the World Cup,” Waldrum said, as quoted by Mail Online.
“But I don’t think it really changes our tactics and what we’re trying to do – they [Australia] obviously still have a lot of weapons that can hurt you.”
Waldrum also shared his knowledge of the Australians.
“I know a lot of their players really well from playing back in the NWSL when I was coaching in the pro league, and I know the quality of those players, so we can’t go into the match thinking we’re at some advantage for that reason.” the American added.

Na true. All the Australian players are capable. They are the host too.
After all the troll due to the shambolic preparation I wish our SF the best, and I pray for mercy to win today. IJN Amen!!!
Is likely going to be another draw, but i hope the Falcons wins.
