Matildas face injury crisis on eve of Women's Asian Cup opener against Philippines

• Uncertainty grows around fitness of goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold

• Australia coach Joe Montemurro refuses to confirm lineup in Perth

The Matildas face a goalkeeper crisis on the eve of the Women’s Asian Cup after coach Joe Montemurro refused to confirm who will be in his final squad – let alone who will start in goal – 24 hours before the tournament opener against the Philippines on Sunday.

Veteran Mackenzie Arnold was expected to don the gloves after Lyon’s Teagan Micah withdrew from the squad with concussion issues last week, but the 32-year-old has not trained fully with her teammates during their preparations in Perth.
