Beth Mead misses out AGAIN on a return to Sarina Wiegman's England squad after missing the World Cup due to injury - but fellow absentee Fran Kirby gets the nod for the Lionesses' next round of Nations League ties

Fran Kirby is back in the England squad for the first time this year but Beth Mead must wait to make her return after missing out on selection for this month’s Nations League games with Belgium.

Both Kirby and Mead missed the World Cup through injury but have returned to action with Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks.

Kirby made her comeback in the Blues’ first game of the season while Mead came off the bench for Arsenal on Sunday. But only Kirby has been picked by Lionesses boss Sarina Wiegman.
