Toone and Kelly left out of England squad for World Cup qualifiers

Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone has been omitted from England's squad for this month's Women's World Cup qualifying fixtures, with another player named only as Kelly also missing out.

England have left Manchester United midfielder Ella Toone out of the squad named for this month's Women's World Cup qualifying matches, with a player identified as Kelly also omitted from selection.

Toone, who plays her club football with Manchester United, will not be part of the group preparing for the upcoming internationals after selectors finalised the roster for the qualifying double-header. The omission ends her immediate involvement in England's preparations for the next round of qualifiers.

The other player, referred to as Kelly in the announcement, was likewise not included in the squad. Coaching staff opted for other attacking and midfield options as they assembled the team to contest the fixtures scheduled for later this month.

England's management are expected to provide further comment on the squad choices in the usual pre-match briefings. The decision leaves both players unavailable for selection during the international window, with club duties to resume in the meantime.

The squad will now turn its attention to the qualifying matches, while Toone and Kelly will wait for the next round of selections to determine their international futures.
