Toone and Kelly miss out on Lionesses squad
Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone misses out on selection for England's Women's World Cup qualifying matches this month.
Ella Toone, a 27-year-old midfielder from Manchester United, and Chloe Kelly, an Arsenal forward, have been left out of England's upcoming World Cup qualifying matches scheduled for next month. The 23-player squad announcement also excluded Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones, as well as Arsenal players Lotte Wubben-Moy and Taylor Hinds.
Captain Leah Williamson has returned to the team after missing both a 4-0 defeat by Spain and a 3-0 win over Ukraine in June. A notable addition is 20-year-old Chelsea midfielder Lexi Potter, who has impressed in the Women's Super League and is making her senior debut. Additionally, uncapped midfielder Erica Meg Parkinson, 18, who has excelled since joining North Carolina Courage, and defenders Niamh Charles and Freya Godfrey are also part of the squad.
If England wins their upcoming matches against Greece, they will advance to the next round of play-offs, potentially securing a spot for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil.
