Five of our Blues have been called up by England Women for next month's games against Ukraine and Iceland.

The Lionesses will kick off their FIFA World Cup 2027 campaign by facing Ukraine in Turkiye before welcoming Iceland to Nottingham.

It is more than ten years since England Women faced Ukraine and Sarina Wiegman's side travel to Antalya to take on Ukraine at the Mardan Sports Complex on Tuesday 3 March, with kick-off at 5pm GMT.

The Lionesses then head to the City Ground, home of Nottingham Forest, for the first time in 32 years as they play host to Iceland on Saturday 7 March (kick-off 2.30pm GMT).

Hannah Hampton and Lauren James are among the players who return to the squad after missing out in November and they are joined by Aggie Beever-Jones, Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh.

Niamh Charles is one of those usually included in England squads but misses out due to injury this time around.
