Japan Women team news

Head coach Nils Nielsen has opted for a midfield heavy squad, including the likes of Yui Hasegawa, Fuka Nagano and Momoko Tanikawa. Among them, Hinata Miyazawa and Maika Hamano are capable of being deployed in attack where Riko Ueki should lead the line.

The experienced Saki Kumagai should marshal the backline, while Ishikawa Rion was replaced by Miyabi Moriya.

Australia Women team news

Australia will be without captain Sam Kerr who continues to deal with a long-term knee injury. However, interim head coach Tom Sermanni will not be short of option in attack, given the presence of Mary Fowler, Caitlin Foord, Hayley Raso and Michelle Heyman in the squad.

Arsenal's Kyra Cooney-Cross is expected to be joined by fellow WSL player Katrina Gorry in midfield.
