Sarina Wiegman has named a 25-player squad for England’s friendlies against Germany and South Africa.

In goal, Khiara Keating has been dropped after she made just one appearance for Manchester City this season.

Wiegman has consequently called up in-form Orlando Pride goalkeeper, Anna Moorhouse to replace the 20 year-old, with Moorhouse having been a late replacement in July due to Kayla Rendell’s withdrawal due to injury.

Niamh Charles and Millie Turner have missed out in defence as Lucy Parker is recalled, following her positive start to the season for Aston Villa.

With a return to the six-player midfield selection, Missy Bo Kearns is the only midfielder to miss out as Grace Clinton, Fran Kirby, Jess Park, Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone and Keira Walsh kept their places.

Jess Naz was named as a stand-by forward for this summer’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 qualifiers, but has now earned a full call-up for this month’s friendlies.

England host Germany at Wembley Stadium on Friday 25 October at 7:30pm BST live on ITV, before meeting South Africa at CBS Arena, Coventry, on Tuesday 29 October live on ITV4.

Goalkeepers – Mary Earps (PSG), Hannah Hampton (Chelsea), Anna Moorhouse (Orlando Pride)

Defence – Millie Bright (Chelsea), Lucy Bronze (Chelsea), Jess Carter (Chelsea), Alex Greenwood (Manchester City), Maya Le Tissier (Manchester United), Esme Morgan (Washington Spirit), Lucy Parker (Aston Villa), Leah Williamson (Arsenal), Lotte Wubben-Moy (Arsenal)

Midfield – Grace Clinton (Manchester United), Fran Kirby (Brighton), Jess Park (Manchester City), Georgia Stanway (Bayern Munich), Ella Toone (Manchester United), Keira Walsh (Barcelona)

Forwards – Aggie Beever-Jones (Chelsea), Lauren Hemp (Manchester City), Lauren James (Chelsea), Chloe Kelly (Manchester City), Beth Mead (Arsenal) Jess Naz (Tottenham), Alessio Russo (Arsenal)
