Matildas Striker Caitlin Foord Shows Off Huge Black Eye She Received In Game Against Sweden

Matilda striker Caitlin Foord has taken to social media to show off her noticeable injury that occurred during the team's third-place playoff with Sweden on Saturday.

The Matildas finish fourth at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup after losing the game 1-0.

However, just before halftime, Foord collided heavily with Swedish captain Kosovare Asllani. As a result, Ford wore a bandage around her head for the rest of the game.

In an Instagram post, Foord revealed the bandage had hidden a big black eye.

"The shiner is coming along nicely," Foord wrote on Sunday. "Thanks for all the messages."
