Matildas star Mary Fowler has revealed the heartbreaking sacrifices she has had to make in order to become one of the hottest properties in world football - saying she's only seen her siblings grow up over video calls.
The 20-year-old wunderkind now plies her trade in the WSL for English giants Manchester City, and will be a vital part of Australia's attacking rotation at the home World Cup, which begins in just over a month's time.
A forward with breathtaking athleticism, dribbling skills and innate game awareness, Aussie superstar Sam Kerr dubbed Fowler the 'next big thing' in football last year.
