A Football Australia spokesperson confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that Kerr – as well as teammate Ellie Carpenter – will front the media from their home base in Brisbane on Saturday afternoon.

Football Australia’s decision to keep Kerr’s injury a closely guarded secret has attracted plenty of criticism.

Under pressure coach Tony Gustavsson has claimed it was purely tactical.

The Matildas need to win on Monday in Melbourne to avoid being bundled out at the group stage. 

Mary Fowler will be a welcome addition after missing the clash against the Africans due to concussion.

The young gun is tipped to partner Caitlin Foord up front if Kerr isn’t named to start the clash against the Olympic champions.
