Kelly Returns to England Squad Amid Injury Woes

Chloe Kelly has been recalled to the England squad for their Women's Nations League matches against Portugal and Spain following the withdrawal of Beth Mead due to injury. Kelly, who recently joined Arsenal on loan from Manchester City, made her second debut in a 5-0 win over Tottenham, prompting Sarina Wiegman to bring her back into the squad. Meanwhile, Lotte Wubben-Moy also withdrew because of a muscle injury, with Aston Villa's Lucy Parker called up as her replacement. The England squad, including new additions, will travel to Portugal for their opening game before facing Spain at Wembley. Kelly's return emphasizes her resilience and eagerness to regain her position after limited playtime at Manchester City. The squad adjustments come amid ongoing injury issues, with key players like Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp also sidelined.
