Chloe Kelly Named in England Squad for Friendlies Against Germany, South Africa

Posted : 15 October 2024

Chloe Kelly, the match-winner for England in the Euro 2022 final, has been named in the Lionesses' squad for upcoming friendlies against Germany and South Africa, despite her reduced playing time at Manchester City. The 26-year-old winger scored the decisive goal in extra time during England's 2-1 victory over Germany, which secured their title as European champions at Wembley.

 

This season, Kelly has found it challenging to get consistent game time with Manchester City, having been an unused substitute in their recent 2-0 Champions League win over Barcelona and in the 2-1 Women's Super League victory against Liverpool at Anfield. Her selection for the national team underscores her importance to the Lionesses, even as she navigates a difficult period at the club level.

 

The squad also features uncapped defender Lucy Parker from Aston Villa, along with returning players Lotte Wubben-Moy and Lauren James, who missed the Euro 2025 qualifiers against Ireland and Sweden due to injuries. Goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse has retained her position in the squad, while Aggie Beever-Jones and Jessica Naz continue their journey with the senior team after impressive performances during the summer.

 

England will play Germany at Wembley on October 25 and then host South Africa in Coventry on October 29. These matches will be critical for the Lionesses as they prepare to defend their European title at Euro 2025 in Switzerland from July 2-27. Additionally, they have upcoming fixtures against the Olympic champions, the United States, and Switzerland in November and December. Head coach Sarina Wiegman highlighted the importance of these friendlies for laying the groundwork for next summer’s tournament, expressing confidence in the team's preparations.
