Arsenal and Chelsea stars in Sarina Wiegman's England Lionesses squad

Sarina Wiegman has announced her squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Austria and Italy with stars from around London featuring.

Lioness fans around the country will be delighted to see the return of Arsenal star Leah Williamson. After nearly a year out of action, the England skipper is set to make her grand return in Lioness colours having recovered from an ACL injury that kept her out of the World Cup last summer.

The Gunners centre-back returned to club football at the end of last month and is now one of several London stars to feature in Wiegman's squad. Two key figures, however, have missed out on selection due to respective injuries. Chelsea's Millie Bright and Tottenham Hotspur's Bethany England will be forced to miss the upcoming fixtures but their clubs will still be represented by the likes of Niamh Charles, Lauren James and Grace Clinton.

Ahead of England's fixtures, which take place on Friday 23 February and Tuesday 27 February at the Nuevo Mirador...
