South Australians Emma Checker and Sian McLaren have been called up by Westfield Matildas Head Coach Tom Sermanni to a 35-player squad for the three day training camp at the Australian Institute of Sport.

"We had a fantastic camp in Wollongong last month and some of the players that have been brought into the squad have really stepped up to the rigours of national team training well," said Sermanni.

“At this camp we are also bringing in some of our injured players, including Bubs (Melissa Barbieri), Sam Kerr, KK (Elise Kellond-Knight) and Lauren Colthorpe, to monitor their rehab and check on their progress.

“It’s a big squad this time around which means we will be able to try a lot of different things and continue to test out some of the younger players as we move towards our next Asian and World Cup cycle.”

The Westfield Matildas camp also coincides with the FFA National Junior Championships for Girls also held in Canberra.
