Seven City players have been selected for Sarina Wiegman’s latest England squad, while Laura Coombs has also received her first call-up since November 2020.
Ellie Roebuck, Sandy MacIver, Alex Greenwood, Chloe Kelly, Lauren Hemp, Jess Park (on loan at Everton) make up the entirety of those from the Club called upon to represent the Lionesses.
Coombs’ inclusion marks her first under the Dutch coach and her first since November 2020 when she was picked by Phil Neville - and adds to what’s been a wonderful few days for the 32-year-old.
On Monday, she penned a new deal at the Academy Stadium – keeping her in sky blue until 2025 – before receiving the news she’ll link-up with the Lionesses for their upcoming games against South Korea, Italy and Belgium in the Arnold Clark Cup.
England’s fixture with South Korea will be played at Stadium MK on Thursday 16 February at 19:45 (UK).
Wiegman’s side then face Italy three days later at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Sunday 19 February at 15:15 (UK), before a trip to Ashton Gate to lock horns with Belgium on Wednesday 22 February.
