Internationals: Le Tissier earns first senior England call-up

Manchester United Women defender Maya Le Tissier has been named in the senior England squad for the first time.

Le Tissier has enjoyed an impressive start to life at United since joining the Reds from Brighton over the summer and has had her early-season efforts rewarded.

Our no.15 has been selected by manager Sarina Wiegman for the Lionesses’ friendly fixtures against Japan (11 November) and Norway (15 November). 

Maya is one of six Reds among the 25-strong squad that the European champions have picked too.

Alessia Russo, Ella Toone, Mary Earps, Nikita Parris and Katie Zelem have also been included, and it means that United have the joint-most players in the squad, alongside Manchester City.

Along with our Lionesses, there are several more Reds who have received call-ups for November’s break.
