Kyah Simon has been handed a chance to make a late bid for inclusion in the Matildas’ World Cup squad after being invited to a 29-woman training camp in the run-in to the tournament.
The striker, who has been in a race against time to regain fitness after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in October, was on Monday named by coach Tony Gustvasson in a provisional group that will assemble on the Gold Coast for an intensive camp before the final 23-player squad is revealed.
