Manchester United forward Alessia Russo has withdrawn from the England squad for next week’s friendly against Germany because of a thigh injury.
Red Devils captain Katie Zelem has been added to the squad as her replacement.
Zelem earned her first call-up for a training camp last month but withdrew after testing positive for coronavirus.
