Sam Kerr's Matildas teammates are determined not to put any pressure on the superstar striker to perform as they relish her return to the international stage.
But star defender Ellie Carpenter is quietly confident Kerr will be able to deliver as the Matildas start to feel both excitement and a sense of urgency less than five months out from the Asian Cup.
Kerr is set to make her long-awaited Matildas return against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday (local time) before facing European champions England in Derby four days later.
