Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy has been called up to the England squad for their upcoming friendlies.
The 25-year-old replaces Manchester United captain Maya Le Tissier, who has been diagnosed with concussion following Sunday’s Women’s Super League defeat by Chelsea.
Wubben-Moy joins the England squad ahead of Saturday’s game against the United States at Wembley Stadium and Tuesday’s match against Switzerland at Bramall Lane.
Le Tissier, meanwhile, will be assessed by her club in accordance with concussion protocols.
Having made her debut in 2022, Wubben-Moy has won 13 caps for England and was included in the squad which won the Euros that summer, as well as the World Cup side last year. The centre-back was previously recalled to the England squad in October having missed the July fixtures due to injury.
England head into the friendly against the USWNT having won three of their last five matches. Emma Hayes’ U.S. have won all five of their most recent fixtures.
