Chloe Kelly Rejoins England Squad Following Beth Mead's Injury
The forward's recent loan to Arsenal and a strong debut performance influenced her recall for England's Nations League matches.
- Chloe Kelly has been recalled to the England squad after Beth Mead withdrew due to a calf strain, which is described as precautionary.
- Kelly, who was initially excluded from the squad due to limited playing time at Manchester City, recently moved to Arsenal on loan and made her debut in a 5-0 win over Tottenham.
- Beth Mead, who has struggled with form and fitness since an ACL injury in 2022, was an unused substitute for Arsenal in their recent match.
- Lucy Parker, a defender from Aston Villa, has also been called up to replace Lotte Wubben-Moy, who is sidelined with a muscle injury.
- England's upcoming Nations League fixtures include a match against Portugal on Friday and a high-profile clash with Spain, the reigning world champions, at Wembley on February 26.
