West Ham midfielder Katrina Gorry and Everton's Clare Wheeler have withdrawn from the Australia squad due to injury.

West Ham have confirmed that Gorry sustained a shoulder injury during their 3-2 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion, during which she scored her first goals for the club.

Everton midfielder Wheeler suffered a "minor" lower leg injury during their 1-0 victory against Liverpool that kept her out of her side's 2-0 defeat by Manchester United in the League Cup on Wednesday.
