October international fixtures for our women’s first team players

The latest women’s international break is upon us, with UEFA Women’s Nations League group stage matches on the agenda for a number of our players and their respective nations over the next two weeks.

As previously announced, Grace Clinton has been rewarded for a fine start to the season in our colours with a first senior England call-up, while Celin Bizet is back in the senior squad for Norway.

Outside of Europe, there are Olympic qualifiers for Rosella Ayane’s Morocco and Zhang Linyan’s China, while Shelina Zadorsky’s Canada face back-to-back friendlies against Brazil.
