Mary Fowler withdraws from the Australia Matildas squad for upcoming friendlies against Germany and Haiti. Multiple outlets report that the decision is made due to personal circumstances, and Fowler will not participate in either match.
In response to Fowler’s withdrawal, Leah Davidson is named as her replacement in the squad. Several sources describe the change as a late adjustment to the Matildas’ international plans for the Germany and Haiti games. One outlet also notes that the news comes shortly after Fowler reaches 100 appearances for Manchester City, though the reported reason for the Matildas withdrawal remains the same across coverage—personal circumstances.
While outlets align on the timing of the matches and Fowler’s non-participation, they differ mainly in emphasis, with some highlighting her club milestone and others focusing directly on the squad replacement and the stated reason for her withdrawal.
