City youngster Jess Park has been called up to the England squad for the first time ahead of the upcoming international break.

The forward, currently on loan at fellow Barclays Women’s Super League side Everton, is joined by seven of her City team-mates.

Sandy MacIver, Ellie Roebuck, Alex Greenwood, Esme Morgan, Demi Stokes, Lauren Hemp and Chloe Kelly have also been given the nod by Sarina Wiegman ahead of friendlies against the United States and the Czech Republic in October.

Morgan – yet to make her senior debut - receives her first call-up in a year after being forced to withdraw following a lower leg fracture against Tottenham in September 2021.

Euro 2022 final hero Kelly, meanwhile, returns after being ruled out of the most recent World Cup qualifying squad due to a minor injury.

The Lionesses lock horns with the USA at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Friday 7 October, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 (UK).

Attentions then turn to the Czech Republic four days later, with the match at Brighton’s Amex Stadium also getting under way at 20:00.
