Injured Matilda finds positives in break

Matildas midfielder Chloe Logarzo is confident she'll come back from her ACL injury a better person and player for next year's World Cup.

Logarzo has been sidelined since suffering the injury during last year's friendly loss to Ireland in September, missing January's Asian Cup as a result.

Logarzo has also used her layoff to undertake ambassadorial duties and was on hand alongside Football Australia chief executive James Johnson and ex-Matilda Grace Gill for confirmation of a
