Bronze recalled by England for Arnold Clark Cup

Lucy Bronze, Leah Williamson and Ellie Roebuck have been called up by England Women boss Sarina Wiegman for this month’s Arnold Clark Cup.

The trio have been named in the 24-strong squad for the tournament. Bronze and Roebuck missed the last three England camps through injury and are included for the first time by Wiegman, while Arsenal’s Leah Williamson also returns after her absence in November.

The Lionesses, however, are without the injured Beth England, while Steph Houghton continues to work her way back to full fitness after an Achilles problem. There is no room in the squad for Sandy MacIver.

England play three matches in six days, kicking off at Middlesbrough’s Riverside Stadium on February 17 against Olympic gold medallists Canada.

The Lionesses will play Spain at Carrow Road in Norwich on February 20 before taking on the team ranked No 3 in the world, Germany, at Molineux in Wolverhampton on February 23.

Wiegman said: “I am looking forward to playing against three world-class teams. It will be the perfect way to begin a big year, and we will get a lot of important information from the matches ahead of the Euros.”
