No Duggan but Nobbs returns as Neville names England Women's squad for Brazil & Portugal friendlies

Toni Duggan will miss England Women’s upcoming friendlies against Brazil and Portugal but Jordan Nobbs returns to the squad after recovering from injury.

Manager Phil Neville has named a 20-strong squad for the upcoming games against Brazil and Portugal, but former Manchester City forward Duggan misses out as she has only just returned from injury herself.

The 28-year-old joined Atletico Madrid from Spanish rivals Barcelona this summer, after scoring 29 goals in 72 games for the Catalan club.

Liverpool-born Duggan made the switch to Barcelona from City in 2017, and helped the club finish second in the league in both seasons spent there, while also playing in last season’s Champions League final defeat to Lyon.
