Australia's star striker, Sam Kerr, will miss the opening two matches of the Women's World Cup due to a calf injury sustained in training. Kerr, who has scored 63 goals in 120 appearances for her country, is a key player for the Matildas. She is expected to return for the July 31 game against Canada. In her absence, 20-year-old Mary Fowler started in Kerr's place and Australia dominated their opening match against the Republic of Ireland.
