A second international break in quick succession, our Barclays Women's Super League campaign has another pause, with only four games left when we return towards the end of the month, as we fight for our top flight survival.

But for now, a handful of our Foxes are setting their sights on qualification for next year's World Cup, with the next stage of group stage games on the cards.

In Europe, Hannah Cain has been called up for Wales and Sari Kees for Belgium, while Chantelle Swaby will feature in CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers with Jamaica. Alisha Lehmann was named in the Swiss squad, but was withdrawn due to a minor injury.

Also called up this break was Olivia McLoughlin, who has the chance to represent England Under-23s as they take part in Women's Under-23 European competition friendlies in Spain, while Emily van Egmond joins back up with the Matildas for a friendly match against Malawi, after their defeat to Japan in the Women's Asian Cup Final just a few weeks ago.
