Arsenal defender Leah Williamson has been called up to the Lionesses squad for the first time since April 2023.

Williamson ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament against Manchester United in April last year, returning to action last month for Arsenal after a lengthy recovery.

The England captain last played international football in a friendly against Australia, eight days before rupturing her ACL.

Williamson missed the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup due to the injury as England reached the final of the tournament for the first time.

Arsenal players Beth Mead, Alessia Russo and Lotte Wubben-Moy have also been included in Wiegman’s 22-player squad.

England will play friendly matches against Austria and Italy at the Estadio Nuevo Mirador in Algeciras, Spain, as part of a warm-weather training camp.
