The Lionesses have received a five-fold selection boost as they kick off their 2027 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Five key players have returned to the side for these crunch fixtures after being left out of the squad for November’s defeats of Ghana and China.
Also returning are captain Leah Williamson, Gotham’s Jess Carter, and Alex Greenwood of Manchester City.
In their absence, there is a first call-up for London City Lionesses defender Poppy Pattinson, while her team-mate Freya Godfrey and Liverpool’s Grace Fisk will both be hoping to pick up their first senior caps.
Next month’s friendlies mark the beginning of England’s quest to end their extended wait for a first World Cup title. They came agonisingly close in 2023, losing 1-0 to Spain in the final.
Previewing next month’s fixtures, Wiegman said: “We want to start our campaign off in the best possible way and will need to be at a top level as we face two different challenges.
“This is new opposition for this England team, so that’s exciting too. I am looking forward to being back with the squad and getting back to work.”
