Wiegman calls up Le Tissier for England seniors
Maya Le Tissier has received her first call-up to the England senior women’s squad.
The 20-year-old Guernsey defender, who has shone for Manchester United as they have won their first five Women’s Super League matches without conceding a goal, is in the 25-player group who will face Japan and Norway in Spain on Friday 11 and Tuesday 15 November respectively as part of their preparations for the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Le Tissier is one of two uncapped players named by manager Sarina Wiegman in the squad along with her England U23 teammate Katie Robinson.
‘These will again be two good challenging games for us which is just what we want and need at this stage,’ said Wiegman.
‘We have some new players to look at as we know we have so much competition for places coming through,’ she added.
It has been an amazing progression for Le Tissier who made local history five-and-a-half years ago by being the first girl to represent Guernsey in the Star Trophy under-15 game against Jersey.
