Chloe Kelly, whose match winner sealed Euro 2022 victory for England, has been dropped by Sarina Wiegman for her latest squad to face Portugal and Spain.
The 27-year-old has played only 117 minutes of football for Manchester City since England’s last international fixtures in November, and saw her complete a surprise loan move to WSL rivals Arsenal on Deadline Day after aiming a parting over being frozen out by her parent club.
Of the 24-player squad, Lotte Wubben-Moy is called up from the off after coming in to replace injuries during the November internationals, while Ella Toone returns from injury and is in fine form for Manchester United, with six goals since her comeback.
Nikita Parris is handed a first call-up in more than two years following her own purple patch for Brighton, having scored six goals in her last eight games in all competitions for the club.
Chelsea duo Niamh Charles and Lauren James both return following injury having not played for England since July and April of last year respectively.
England travel to Portugal for their first Nations League game of this cycle on February 21, kick-off 7.45pm, before hosting world champions Spain at Wembley on February 26, kick-off 8pm.
