England draft in Kelly after Mead’s injury

CHLOE KELLY has been called up to the England squad to replace her injured Arsenal team-mate Beth Mead.

The forward is one of two replacements ahead of the Lionesses’ Nations League fixtures against Portugal and Spain, with Aston Villa defender Lucy Parker also joining up in place of Lotte Wubben-Moy, who has withdrawn.

Kelly, on loan at Arsenal from Manchester City, made the first appearance of her second spell with the Gunners as a substitute in their 5-0 victory over local rivals Tottenham on Sunday.
