Russo returns to Lionesses squad

England forward Alessia Russo has returned to the squad for this month's fixtures against Japan and Norway.

Arsenal midfielder Jordan Nobbs and Chelsea's Niamh Charles also return.

Captain Leah Williamson remains absent through injury.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, who was part of the winning squad at Euro 2022, is not selected following reports she was dropped by manager Sarina Wiegman due to her attitude.

Wiegman has named a 25-player squad as the Lionesses travel to Spain to play Japan on Friday, 11 November and Norway on Tuesday, 15 November.

Russo came off the bench on Sunday for Manchester United, her club side, as they recorded a 3-0 victory over Everton in the Women's Super League (WSL).

Nobbs, who missed out on Euro 2022 selection due to injury, scored twice last week in Arsenal's victories over Zurich and West Ham.

Uncapped duo Le Tissier and Robinson have received call-ups to the senior squad for the first time after a strong start to the WSL season for Manchester United and Brighton respectively.

Those to drop out include Chelsea defender Jess Carter and forward Jess Park, currently on-loan at Everton from Manchester City.
