Matildas update.

Football in the Capital caught up with the Matildas this morning at the AIS in Canberra.

The team seemed in good spirits as coach Tom Sermanni put them through their paces.

With twenty eight players in camp and only eighteen on the plane to North Korea for the crucial Olympic qualifier on June 3rd, Sermanni has a few choices to make.

ACT trio Caitlin Munoz, Sally Shipard are all training again after injury. Goalkeeper Lydia Williams has a wrist injury but hopes to be included.

These are the big games players are desperate to play in and when Sermanni approached each player each player gave him a big smile and said they were fine.

Sermanni will be expecting a tough game in Korea. "We have more goalscorers and better individuals like Cheryl Salisbury and Kate Gill. But they have a lot of pace and technical ability all over the park. They will run and run all day, plus they will be supported by a big crowd. Not many of our team have played in front of such a crowd but I think our players will cope okay. We'll talk about that and we'll be ready."
