For me, Amy’s ACL doesn’t change the 18. It changes the alternates. I’d be far more concerned if it got closer to July and we still hadn’t had word on Mini or Clare Hunt fitness and recoveries.
My current Olympic squad would be.
GK - Macca, Teagan
DF - Ellie, Steph, Alanna, Clare H, Charli, Luik
MF - Mini, Kyra, Wheels, Meeks, EVE, Torps
FW - Caitlin, Ras, Mary, Heyman
Alt - Whyman (GK), Polks (DF), Vine (FW), Gielnik (FW).
I think for my own well-being I’m assuming Mini is out. It’s a lot to ask of her to get tournament fit coming off of an injury like that. She’ll be cutting it very close. Clare is a stress fracture in her foot or something isn’t it? Those can be tricky too but she should be back. Gielnik has been in amazing form and makes my 18. Especially because Tony is known to prefer to play Mary in the midfield. Also, Torpey is a defender. She can play on the wings when needed but will be listed as a defender on the squad list.
My 18:
GK - Mac, Teagan
DF - Ellie, Steph, Alanna, Clare, Torpey, Charli
MF - Mary, Kyra, Wheels, Meeks, EVE
FW - Heyman, Raso, Caitlin, Gielnik, Vine
