Chelsea midfielder Lexi Potter has received her first senior England call-up for the Women's World Cup qualifying playoff against Greece, with captain Leah Williamson returning after injury.

Sarina Wiegman has named the squad for the crucial World Cup qualifier, with Potter's inclusion coming after her impressive performances for Chelsea, including starring in the 1-0 victory over Arsenal. Neither Ella Toone nor Chloe Kelly has been named in the squad.

The England manager has also called up uncapped midfielder Erica Meg Parkinson (18) and London City Lionesses winger Freya Godfrey, with Williamson's return providing a boost to the team ahead of the important match against Greece. forestarrow.help
