Manchester United defender Abbie McManus has been called up to the England Women squad.
The 27-year-old, who has 18 caps, joins the squad at St George’s Park and will be available to take part in the second intra-squad 11v11 match of the Lionesses’ current camp.
The first took place on Friday at Stoke’s Bet365 Stadium, with a side captained by Lucy Bronze defeating one skippered by Steph Houghton 8-1.
Phil Neville’s England had been scheduled to play a friendly against Norway at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane on Tuesday.
But the game was cancelled earlier this month with the Football Association saying the Norwegian Football Federation had confirmed its team would be unable to travel “due to Covid-19 considerations in their country”.
England have not played an international fixture since their SheBelieves Cup campaign in March.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
