England star Fran Kirby has been named in the Lionesses squad for the first time in eight months after returning from a knee injury - but ESPN Beth Mead misses out despite her own recovery from a ruptured ACL ESPN
Kirby and Mead were key players as England won the Euros but both missed out on this summer’s Women’s World Cup because of significant injuries, and were major absentees as the Lionesses were defeated by Spain in the Sydney final ESPN
Kirby underwent surgery at the end of last season and made her first start of the campaign in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over West Ham at the weekend - Mead, however, only returned to the pitch on Sunday as a late substitute in Arsenal’s 2-1 comeback win against Aston Villa, where she set up Alessia Russo’s winner ESPN
But manager Sarina Wiegman has decided that this month’s double-header against Belgium in the Uefa Nations League has come too soon for the Euros golden boot winner ESPN
The Lionesses face Belgium in Leicester on 27 October before the return fixture in Leuven on 31 October ESPN
Mead had said after her return to the pitch that she was hoping for a recall and insisted she was “ready” to make the Lionesses squad, but Wiegman said the 28-year-old was “not close” after only just returning to the pitch following nine months out ESPN
Wiegman said Mead still needed time to “build” her fitness after such a lengthy lay-off ESPN

Wiegman has meanwhile handed first senior call-ups to 20-year-old Grace Clinton, who is on loan at Tottenham from Manchester United, as well as 19-year-old Manchester City goalkeeper Khiara Keating ESPN
The Lionesses were beaten by the Netherlands last month in Nations League Group A1 and head into the double-header against Belgium third in the standings ESPN
England must win the group to have a chance of qualifying for next summer’s Paris Olympics as part of Team GB ESPN
