Hanwell-born Chloe Kelly has been selected as part of Sarina Wiegman's England Women squad for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer.
The Manchester City midfielder, who scored the winning goal for the Lionesses in the final of last summer's European Championship, will be hoping to win a tournament in successive summers as Wiegman's side go for glory down under.
Kelly has represented England at every level from under-15s up and has amassed 25 caps for the senior side and scored six goals.
The tournament gets underway on Thursday 20th July when New Zealand take on Norway and the Lionesses campaign will begin against Haiti on Saturday 22nd July.
England will be in Group D alongside first opponents Haiti, as well as Denmark and China, with the top two sides in the group progressing to the round-of-16.
The Lionesses head into the tournament as the second favourites behind the USA with the oddsmakers, despite a number of high-profile absentees like captain Leah Williamson and Beth Mead.
Sarina Wiegman's 23-player squad:
Goalkeepers: Mary Earps, Hannah Hampton, Ellie Roebuck
Defenders: Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, Jess Carter, Niamh Charles, Alex Greenwood, Esme Morgan, Lotte Wubben-Moy
Midfielders: Laura Coombes, Jordan Nobbs, Georgia Stanway, Ella Toone, Katie Zelem, Kiera Walsh
