Which Matildas are playing in Perth International Football Cup?
Of the four clubs venturing to Perth, there will be five Aussies in contention to feature in the mini-tournament.
Mary Fowler and Alanna Kennedy are currently plying their trade for Manchester City in the Women's Super League (WSL), with the side going very close to their first ever title, narrowly losing to Sam Kerr's Chelsea on goal difference.
There is also a Matildas favourite in the West Ham team, with Katrina Gorry currently playing for the Irons, though she is under an injury cloud that puts her participation in the upcoming Olympics into question; penalty shootout hero Mackenzie Arnold was at West Ham last season, but she recently left the London based club.
The other Matilda in the frame is Leicester's Courtney Nevin.
