Teen takes on US side

-

MATILDAS starlet Mary Fowler, 16, will play against world No.1 USA in Australia’s glamour friendly with the world champions today but three experience­d players have been sidelined with injury.

Vice-captain Steph Catley, defender Laura Alleway and forward Chloe Logarzo won’t line up for the Matildas in Colorado, the most important lead-in fixture for Australia ahead of June’s World Cup.

Coach Ante Milicic said he would not risk the trio, who had carried minor injuries into camp and had not recovered.

The match will be shown on Fox Sports from 11.30am.
