Team News: Round 7 (W)

Melbourne Victory’s title-defending Women’s team resume their campaign on Sunday in Western Sydney with a number of team changes.

Last week’s clash with Newcastle was postponed due to COVID impacts, meaning the squad’s last match was the loss to Brisbane on January 2.

USWNT striker Lynn Williams has completed her loan and returned to the U.S, creating an opportunity up front.

Emerging Matildas stars Kyra Cooney-Cross and Courtney Nevin have joined the national team’s preparations for the Asian Cup, which kicks off next week.

Star midfielder Alex Chidiac missed the Roar clash but is a chance to return, as is Casey Dumont and Tiff Eliadis.
