Matildas winger out for rest of ALW season
Matildas winger Sharn Freier has played her last game for Brisbane Roar after the A-League Women club confirmed she will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
Speedy left winger Freier, 23, will head to German powerhouse VfL Wolfsburg on a deal through to June 2028 at season's end.
But she won't have any further chances to impress before then, after having successful surgery on Monday on the right ankle injured against Perth on January 26.
It means the fourth-placed Roar will have to face eight home-and-away games without Freier, plus a potential finals campaign, while she won't play in any type of farewell match.
The ankle injury also ruled Freier, who has scored two goals across nine Matildas caps, out of contention for this month's SheBelieves Cup in the US and friendlies against South Korea in Sydney and Newcastle in April.

A post shared by Brisbane Roar FC (@brisbaneroarfc)
"Brisbane Roar can confirm the unfortunate news that Sharn Freier will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season after sustaining an ankle injury in round 13 against Perth Glory," the club revealed.
"The club wishes Sharn all the best with her recovery."
Freier had two goals and four assists this season, and had been a key part of Brisbane's attack alongside twin sister Laini and Matildas stalwart Tameka Yallop.
Sharn's bad injury news strikes as Laini relishes news of a first Matildas call-up, after scoring seven goals and two assists in her first professional season to date.
The Roar are back in action away to Western Sydney on Sunday.

Before Game 3 of the NBA Finals tipped off, the girlfriend of Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton took to her Instagram Stories to showcase the custom Indiana ensemble she rocked at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, where the home team topped the Thunder, 116-107, to take a 2-1 series lead.

Jade Jones/Instagram Indiana swiped Game 1 of the series on the road following a 21-foot jumper from Haliburton with 0.3 seconds left to put the Pacers up, 111-110. However, the Pacers' victory lap was short-lived as the Thunder, guided by league MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, took Game 2 with a resounding 123-107 win. Advertisement During Sunday's contest at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, Jones — who recently celebrated her sixth anniversary with Haliburton — seemed to get into it with Thunder fans. The couple celebrated six years of dating this spring. Jade Jones/Instagram Jade Jones has modeled custom Pacers looks during the playoffs. Jade Jones/Instagram In footage circulating on social media, Jones appeared to argue with OKC supporters, standing up in the stands and pointing her finger in the direction of fans dressed in blue T-shirts. Those on the receiving end were not seen in the video, though. The Pacers are now two wins away from capturing their first NBA championship. Indiana won three titles in the 1970s when they were part of the American Basketball Association. Haliburton has been with the Pacers since 2022. He was originally traded in February that year by the Kings, who selected him 12th overall out of Iowa State in the 2020 NBA Draft. Game 4 is set for Friday at 8:30 p.m.

Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show
Chiefs' Travis Kelce Mom Lands Major Spot On Reality TV Show originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has taken much of the family spotlight this offseason. His relationship with pop music princess Taylor Swift continues to capture the hearts of the many while the build-up to his farewell tour increases by the day. Kelce will retire from the NFL after this season. He, Patrick Mahomes and the rest of Chiefs Kingdom hope to pull out one more run to the Super Bowl. When that time ultimately comes for him to move on from the game, don't expect the Kelce family to go away from the public eye. Travis and his brother, Jason, co-host the "New Heights" podcast which has been quite successful. Even the family's matriarch Donna Kelce has found her way into the spotlight. In fact, she had a major announcement this week that will be sure to provide more Kelce content. Both Donna and Jason will participate in season four of the reality TV series "The Traitors." She made her announcement official with a post on Instagram captioned, "Sundays were just the beginning. I raised the two playmakers, but now it's mamas turn." The show will begin streaming on Peacock and has begun filming in Scotland. Donna and Jason will be joined by a number of reality TV stars from other programs along with a group of celebrities including Michael Rapoport and Tara Lipinksi. "The Traitors" splits contestants up into two categories of "Faithfuls" and "Traitors." The cast must decipher which among them are the "Traitors," picking a player each night to "murder." While Donna and Jason embark on this exciting new venture, Travis remains at home preparing for his final season. The next step on that journey comes next week when the Chiefs get started with their mandatory minicamp on June 17. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
