England women boss Phil Neville has recalled midfielder Jordan Nobbs for the friendlies against Brazil and Portugal.
Arsenal’s Nobbs suffered a serious knee injury in November, which ruled her out of the summer’s Women’s World Cup.
Manchester City’s Jill Scott, Chelsea striker Fran Kirby and Lyon’s Alex Greenwood are in the 20-player squad.
City’s Aoife Mannion could get her first cap, while Atletico Madrid forward Toni Duggan is a notable absentee.
The Football Association says 23,000 tickets have been sold for the match against Brazil in Middlesbrough on Wednesday, 5 October, with the fixture in Portugal three days later.
Lionesses coach Neville, who guided England to fourth at the World Cup in France, said: “It will be great to be back in front of our fans again after two away matches.
“I know playing in Middlesbrough will mean passionate support and the big crowd we’re expecting shows just how much the team connected with the public in the summer.”
