Alexia Apostolakis joins Matildas as train-on player

·

Melbourne City defender, Alexia Apostolakis, has been called into the Matildas squad as a train-on player ahead of the upcoming friendlies against Korea Republic.

She becomes the third City player in camp, joining teammates Holly McNamara and Leah Davidson, further showcasing the Club’s strong representation at the international level.

Apostolakis’ call-up follows the injury withdrawals of Ellie Carpenter and Hayley Raso, opening the door for the young defender to gain invaluable experience in the senior national team environment.

She was already in Sydney with the Young Matildas for a training camp over the international window, but will now transition into the senior setup.

The 18-year-old has been a standout performer in her first season with City, featuring in all 25 competitive fixtures across the A-League Women’s season and AFC Women’s Champions League.

She has started all but one of those matches, quickly cementing herself as one of the league’s most consistent young defenders.

The upcoming fixtures against Korea Republic will provide Apostolakis with an opportunity to further develop her game training alongside some of the country’s best players.

The Matildas will take on Korea Republic in two friendlies, beginning this Friday night at Allianz Stadium in Sydney, before traveling to Newcastle for the second clash next Tuesday.
