Manchester United forward Lauren James has been handed her first England call-up as a part of Phil Neville’s final 29-player squad of the year.

The 19-year-old has impressed in helping the Red Devils to the top of the Women’s Super League table after seven games.

The Lionesses were due to face Norway on December 1 in what would have been their first game since they lost 1-0 to Spain in March, but the fixture was cancelled due to coronavirus restrictions.

It means the squad will get together for an extensive training camp, but will not play any matches.

Speaking about his squad selection, Neville told the FA website: "I’m delighted to give Lauren James her first senior call-up. She's an exciting young player that we want to help develop further. She joins the squad alongside many other young players who we’ve introduced over the last few months."

Meanwhile, Manchester City midfielder Laura Coombs has been handed her first call-up in more than five years as she bids to work her way back into the national team.

"Laura Coombs is a player I have watched a lot this season and I have been very impressed with her progression in the game," Neville added. "She's performed consistently at a high level which merits her call-up to the squad.

"Although sadly we no longer have a competitive fixture, every minute spent on the training pitch and in planning is crucial and plays an important part in preparing for the UEFA Women’s EURO."
