Mariners Head Coach Emily Husband has named an unchanged squad from the one that defeated Wellington Phoenix 1-0 last weekend, with a strong side heading down to The Home of the Matildas.
FROM JEFFOn Emma Checker and Emily Gielnik…
“With the break coming up, I’m hoping that they’ll both be there or thereabouts.”
“Em (Gielnik) has had a really positive couple of days and she’s been a lot more positive about about being back earlier”
“Emma’s getting some massive volume in this week, so she’s worked really hard.”
On the Mariners…
“I’ve been impressed.”
“They’ll give us a few problems in terms of certain players in certain positions that we haven’t come up against so far this season, so it’s going to be a real good test for us.”
