Republic of Ireland manager Vera Pauw confirmed Katie McCabe is fully fit and expressed satisfaction with the training facilities as the squad landed at their Women's World Cup base at Meakin Park in Brisbane.
Pauw and the players held an open training session at their new base today, as they continue their preparations for their historic opener against the hosts Australia in eight days' time.
Speaking ahead of their training session, the Ireland manager appeared content with the facilities.
"This is the first time that we train on it," Pauw told RTÉ Sport's Tony O'Donoghue.
"We'll see how the players feel. I've been walking on it. The biggest thing is that it's flat, that is the most important thing for a football player. And that the grass is short and that's happening.
"We're very, very grateful that we could fly business class. Thank you FIFA for that. That makes a big difference. We all said that 27 hours felt easier than five hours travel to Eastern Europe.
"Everybody has been coping really well. We're energetic. We have a jetlag protocol. Today, we will play 11-a-side on the smaller pitch to make sure we don't get injuries.
"But the execution of it is really sharp. That helps us to make sure that, even though we have jetlag, that we're still building on our specific football fitness."
Ireland boarded their flight for Australia on the back of a 3-0 home defeat to the world's fifth ranked team France last Thursday night, with captain McCabe limping out of the game with an ankle injury after half an hour.
It swiftly emerged that the injury wasn't especially serious, with Pauw assuring that everyone was fully fit, "including Katie McCabe".
Ireland have one more pre-World Cup warm-up, with a behind-closed-doors game planned against Colombia organised to give everyone a runout ahead of the start of the tournament.
Asked whether this would solidify her starting XI for Australia, Pauw said the France match had been the decisive one.
"We're very close to that. The France game was the key game in that. There could be a change but that was the key match.
"It's only behind closed doors because we want to be able to change 11 players. If it's not, you can only change six players. We want to give all the players match rhythm. Colombia has the same issue and that's why go behind closed doors. There's no other reason."
The session was watched by 100 or so Irish supporters, with the enormous diaspora expected to prove a big part of the Irish support as they face the host side in Sydney.
"There's an incredible amount of Irish people around," says Pauw.
"The players are talking with people about Ireland, where they come from, when they moved. It's a lovely atmosphere."
