    Women’s World Cup: Shelley Nitschke Believes Alyssa Healy’s Absence Will Help Test The Team’s Depth Against England

    By IANS News October 21, 2025 • 18:28 PM View: 354
    Shelley Nitschke: Shelley Nitschke, Australia’s head coach, opened up on skipper Alyssa Healy’s injury ahead of the team’s high-octane Women's World Cup clash against arch-rivals England and mentioned that her absence in the upcoming clash will present an opportunity for other players to step up in different roles.

    Healy has been ruled out of the team’s next encounter, scheduled to be played on Wednesday at the Holkar Stadium here, after sustaining a minor calf strain during a training session last Saturday.

    Tahlia McGrath, the vice captain, will lead the team in Healy’s absence as the defending champions aim to maintain their unbeaten streak in the tournament. Healy could also miss Australia’s final group-stage match against South Africa if she does not recover in time for the game on Saturday, October 25.
