Melbourne Victory star Alana Murphy has been drafted into the CommBank Matildas’ SheBelieves Cup squad as a replacement for Clare Wheeler.
Everton midfielder Wheeler has withdrawn from the historic four-nation tournament in the United States due to a thigh injury sustained earlier this week.
That has led to 19-year-old Victory midfielder Murphy earning her maiden Matildas call-up.
