ENGLAND Women interim head coach Mo Marley has named her 26-player squad for this month’s World Cup qualifying double-header - which includes a match at Colchester United.
Marley has handed Keira Walsh and Leah Williamson their first senior call-ups.
The midfield duo have both featured for Marley in the England Women’s under-19s and have progressed through the age groups.
They were part of the under-23s squad that won the Nordic Tournament in May.
Manchester City goalkeeper Karen Bardsley returns from injury but Reading midfielder Jade Moore misses out following ankle surgery.
The Lionesses face Bosnia and Herzegovina at Walsall on November 24 before visiting Colchester to play Kazakhstan on November 28 (kick-off 7.05pm).
England started their qualifying campaign in September, with a comprehensive 6-0 win against Russia.
Marley said: “These matches are hugely important to the World Cup qualifying campaign and we will be looking to get two good results and finish 2017 in strong fashion.
"I know Keira and Leah well from the WU19 set up and they are both talented young players with lots of potential and playing well for their clubs and I am pleased to welcome them into the senior squad.
"We are looking forward to ending the year with two home games.
"We are expecting good crowds at both matches and will be going out to put on two excellent performances for our supporters."
