Matildas star Mary Fowler is effortlessly embracing the WAG life, recently spotted in loved-up scenes with her NRL partner Nathan Cleary. The talented Manchester City striker is expected to be a key player at the Paris Olympics, commencing on July 26.

Following two friendly matches against China, Fowler is enjoying some well-deserved downtime before the first Olympic match against Germany on the opening day of the games. She is making the most of her time in Australia with her high-profile partner, who is currently recovering from an injury.

Mary Fowler and her NRL boyfriend Nathan Cleary were spotted looking relaxed and happy together.

The couple has been spotted outside Panthers HQ several times in recent days as the Matildas have a break until the Paris Olympics.

They walked hand in hand and gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes, showcasing their strong bond as Fowler settles into the WAG life.

Cleary had just completed his daily rehab for a hamstring injury, which has sidelined him for eight weeks. He is expected to miss the State of Origin series due to the injury, which was aggravated during a match against the Bulldogs in May.

Scans revealed a grade two hamstring tear, ruling Cleary out of NRL matches for the next month. Fowler, meanwhile, was spotted at a Sydney café and running errands while her NRL star boyfriend trained with the Penrith Panthers over the long weekend.

Fowler opted for a stylish yet relaxed outfit, pairing a brown vest with a checkered sweater, camouflage pants, a black crossbody bag, and brown boots. She enhanced her natural beauty by going makeup-free. This sighting came just days after Cleary supported Fowler at the Matildas’ 2-0 victory over China at Accor Stadium in Sydney, accompanied by his mother, Rebecca.

Fowler manages to look casual and stylish at the same time as she settles back into life in Australia before the Olympics.

Locals might have walked right by Fowler as she went about her daily activities and shopping in the Penrith area.

The couple has plenty of time to spend together before the Olympics commence on July 26 with a match against Germany.

Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson has taken a gamble on the fitness of Katrina Gorry, including the injured midfielder in his squad. Striker Caitilin Foord, who missed the recent friendly against China due to a hamstring strain, was also included.

Foord’s injury is a concern, especially with Sam Kerr also sidelined. However, the Arsenal forward emphasized that their cautious approach follows a demanding World Cup campaign and rigorous club duties.

Fowler will be a crucial player at the Olympics, with Sam Kerr injured and Caitlin Foord facing fitness challenges.

The versatile Manchester City striker can also play in midfield and will be a focal point of the Matildas’ attack in Paris.

Should any of the 18 players sustain injuries before the group stage match against Germany in Marseille, Gustavsson has four “alternate players” ready to step in. Courtney Nevin, retiring goalkeeper Lydia Williams, Sharn Freier, and fullback Charlotte Grant are on standby.

Grant’s exclusion from the main squad is unfortunate, given her solid performance as a stand-in for first-choice right-back Ellie Carpenter, who missed a significant period leading up to last year’s World Cup due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

After facing Germany, Australia will go up against Zambia and the USA in their remaining pool fixtures.
