The Arsenal forward, 27, has not played since November and was a major doubt.

Tottenham striker Beth England, who has not been involved since last summer, is included having scored 12 goals in her past 12 Women’s Super League games.

Chelsea center-back Millie Bright, who has been out with a knee injury since March, has made the 23-player squad.

Lionesses captain Leah Williamson and midfielder Fran Kirby were already ruled out through injury, but Barcelona defender Lucy Bronze is in despite having knee surgery in April.

There is no place for Manchester United defender Maya le Tissier or club team-mate Nikita Parris.

Manchester City defender Steph Houghton, who captained England for eight years, has not been called up despite injuries in defense leading to some calls for her return.

England plays Haiti in their opening match on 22 July in Australia.
