Your support makes all the difference.Toni Duggan, Fara Williams and Jordan Nobbs have been included in the England women’s squad for their Euro 2017 qualifier this month after returning from injury.
Williams, England’s most-capped player, and Nobbs have recovered from hamstring injuries, while Duggan has had ankle problems.
The Lionesses face Germany in a friendly in Duisburg on Thursday before taking on Bosnia & Herzegovina in a European Championship qualifier at Ashton Gate, Bristol on 29 November – which will be their first home game since they secured third place at the World Cup in Canada by beating Germany 1-0 through a Williams penalty.
The England manager, Mark Sampson, said: “2015 has been an amazing year for the team and our supporters, full of special memories.
“To end the year with a match in Germany, one of the biggest tests in women’s football, and then the team’s homecoming in Bristol against Bosnia is a fitting way to mark such a big year for the game.”
