Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly have both been left out of England’s 23-player squad for the Lionesses’ World Cup qualifying double-header against Greece next month.
Manchester United midfielder Toone, 27, misses out after an inconsistent start to the season, while Arsenal forward Kelly, 28, has also been omitted. Between them the pair have 136 England appearances.
Chelsea forward Aggie Beever-Jones and the Arsenal duo of Lotte Wubben-Moy and Taylor Hinds are the other players who have not made the squad.
Captain Leah Williamson is back. The Arsenal defender missed June’s 4-0 defeat by Spain and the 3-0 win over Ukraine, and returns to the group for the Greece tie.
The standout inclusion is Chelsea midfielder Lexi Potter, who receives a first senior call-up at the age of 20. Potter has impressed alongside England’s Keira Walsh in the Women’s Super League, starting three of Chelsea’s opening four matches, and was a standout performer in their 1-0 win over Arsenal on Sunday.
There is also a return to the squad for uncapped midfielder Erica Meg Parkinson, 18, who has excelled since joining North Carolina Courage in the summer. England have named two further uncapped players: London City Lionesses forward Freya Godfrey and Liverpool defender Grace Fisk.
Manchester City full-back Niamh Charles is included after making her return from injury as a substitute in her club’s 1-0 win over Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
England play Greece twice, first in Crete on Friday, 9 October at 17:30 BST and then in Leicester on Tuesday, 13 October at 19:30 BST. Victory across the two-legged tie would take them into round two of the play-offs, where they can compete for a place in the Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
