Toone has been absent from the previous two England squads after a long spell on the sidelines through injury, but the 26-year-old has returned to the United squad in recent weeks and earns an immediate Lionesses recall.

Wiegman has also named Chelsea star Lucy Bronze in her squad, despite the 34-year-old's questionable fitness. Bronze missed the Blues last WSL tie against Man Utd and was seen sporting a protective boot.

Elsewhere, Bronze's teammate at Stamford Bridge Aggie Beever-Jones earns a place in the 25. The 22-year-old has endured several injuries in recent months, including a month out across March and April, but she did feature from the bench in Chelsea's last three matches however.

London City Lionesses' Freya Godrey also makes the squad, the 21-year-old has scored twice in her last three WSL appearances and could be in line for a long-awaited Lionesses debut.

Wiegman's side sit top of their World Cup qualifying group after winning all four of their matches of the campaign so far; the Lionesses face a tricky away trip to Mallorca to face Spain next time out, where victory could open up a six point gap at the top of the table.
