Teyah Goldie, Isobel Goodwin – England U23s
Away from the European Championship Qualifiers, Teyah Goldie and Isobel Goodwin have drawn into England’s Under-23 squad, with fixtures versus the Netherlands and Portugal on the schedule.
“We can’t wait for the new season to start and to get the players and staff together again,” said England U23 head coach Emma Coates. “Over the summer we’ve been working with the other European nations to develop the WU23 competition.
“We wanted to make it a more competitive experience for our Young Lionesses which will be hugely important for their development, so they can feel that added level of pressure whilst playing and wearing an England shirt.”
