Chloe Kelly has been left out of Sarina Wiegman’s squad for the Lionesses’ upcoming Nations League matches against Portugal and Spain, with the England boss saying that the winger ‘hasn’t played enough’ to justify her inclusion.
Kelly – who has started just once in the top-flight this season – left Manchester City on tense terms at the end of last month, accusing the club of trying to ‘assassinate my character’ and of spreading ‘false accusations’ after their relationship deteriorated.
She joined Arsenal on loan on deadline day until the end of the season, when her contract at City expires, and the 27-year-old said that she does not expect to return to Gareth Taylor’s side after her time in north London comes to an end.
