Caroline Weir and Lisa Evans serve Scotland Women recall before matches against Hungary and Sweden | Football news
Caroline Weir and Lisa Evans have recovered from an injury and have been selected in Scotland’s women’s squad for their World Cup qualifier against Hungary and a friendly match against Sweden.
Weir and Evans missed Scotland’s opening qualifiers already in September but have proved their fitness and got it back.
Scotland will want to build on their two victories during the match cycle in September, after a 2-0 victory in Hungary and a 7-1 victory against the Faroe Islands.
Head coach Pedro Martinez Losa has appointed a 24-man squad for the matches to be played later this month at Glasgow’s Hampden Park on October 22 and St Mirren’s Paisley 2021 Stadium on October 26.
Martha Thomas misses the selection due to injury, but Jenna Clark, fresh from scoring at Hampden Park against the Faroe Islands, is included again, along with the recalled Amy Muir.
There is also plenty of women’s Super League representation in Scotland’s ranks.
