18 members of our women’s team have been called up to represent their nations across the May and June international break.
Straight back to work for their countries after our UEFA Women’s Champions League final win in Lisbon, players are taking part in the UEFA Women’s Nations League and international friendlies.
Starting with the Lionesses, Alessia Russo, Leah Williamson, Chloe Kelly, Beth Mead, Michelle Agyemang and Lotte Wubben-Moy are all setting their sights on games against Portugal and Spain.
Sarina Wiegman’s side are second in League A Group 3 of the Nations League going into this break, two points behind Spain, who Mariona Caldentey has been called up for. They will also play Belgium.
In League A Group 1, Daphne van Domselaar and Victoria Pelova will be looking to climb above Germany, with Netherlands currently second but level on points with them. They will go head-to-head with Germany and Scotland, who will go up against another of our goalkeepers - Manuela Zinsberger for Austria, who have three points in the group.
Katie McCabe is in the Republic of Ireland squad for matches against Turkey and Slovenia as they look to close the gap at the top of League B Group 2, while Stina Blackstenius will be hoping to capitalise on her Champions League winner with more minutes against Italy and Denmark.
Lina Hurtig and Amanda Ilestedt, who have both departed Arsenal, are also in the Sweden squad.
More Gunners are going head-to-head when Frida Maanum of Norway takes on Lia Walti of Switzerland, with France and Iceland making up the rest of League A Group 2.
Away from the Nations League, Emily Fox has travelled to USA for their friendly games against China and Jamaica, while our Australian trio of Steph Catley, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Caitlin Foord are all getting ready for a double header against Argentina.
