Minimal preparation doesn't faze Matildas goalkeeper
Locked in as the Matildas’ first-choice goalkeeper, Women’s World Cup hero Mackenzie Arnold insists she has enough game time and form behind her to perform in Australia’s Asian Cup tilt.
Arnold was expected to be locked in a scrap to start with Lyon goalkeeper Teagan Micah, who last week withdrew from the squad after another concussion.
Given the two other goalkeepers are the untested Jada Whyman and three-cap youngster Chloe Lincoln, Arnold is a nailed-on starter for the whole tournament.
