Matildas star Caitlin Foord will be forced into quarantine for 14 days upon her return to Arsenal while coach Ante Milicic admits there are "genuine concerns" over whether next month's friendlies against the United States and Canada will go ahead.

Australia's spot at the Tokyo Olympics was booked on Wednesday night with a 2-1 over Vietnam, a match played in front of an empty stadium in Cam Pha due to coronavirus concerns.

The pandemic is wreaking havoc on world football, and it will continue to have an impact on the Matildas at both a team and individual level.

Milicic said some clubs had expressed reservations about their players travelling throughout Asia for Australia's two-legged play-off against Vietnam in the circumstances, with Arsenal requesting that Foord be isolated from the rest of the team once she arrives back in England.
