Ellen White, Keira Walsh and captain Steph Houghton are among the 55 nominees for this year's FIFA FIFPRO’s Women World 11.

White enjoyed a fine World Cup in France this summer as England made it to the semi-finals before losing to the USA, with the potent striker bagging six goals and finishing as equal top scorer.

22-year-old Walsh was instrumental in City’s two domestic cup successes last season before playing a key role in the Lionesses run to the last four in France.

And Houghton produced perhaps her best season yet in 2018-19. An inspirational leader for both club and country, she continues to be a leading figure in the game. 

The fourth Women’s World XI will be announced on Monday September 23rd during the Best Football Awards in Milan’s Scala theatre.
