The Lionesses face Group D opponents Northern Ireland in their first ever competitive fixture at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 October [kick-off: 5:15pm BST], before travelling to Riga to face Latvia at the Daugava Stadium on 26 October [kick-off 6:30pm BST].
Wiegman’s second squad since joining England sees the return of Aston Villa goalkeeper Hannah Hampton and Manchester United forward Alessia Russo, while Manchester City’s Keira Walsh also makes a welcome return to international duty following injury.
England are without senior internationals Ellie Roebuck, Lucy Bronze and Steph Houghton as they continue their return to fitness.
Youngsters Sandy MacIver, Jessica Carter, Niamh Charles, Lotte Wubben-Moy, Lauren Hemp and Ella Toone have all retained their place in Wiegman’s youthful squad.
Ballon d’Or nominee Ellen White, who was shortlisted for the prestigious award alongside her England teammate Fran Kirby, is close to breaking England Women’s goalscoring record, requiring four goals to surpass Kelly Smith’s record of 46.
Wiegman will be hoping Ellen White can get closer to breaking the England Women's goalscoring record during October's games
“After a wonderful start to our World Cup qualifying campaign last month, we are incredibly excited to play our first competitive fixture at Wembley Stadium," said Wiegman.
“The incredible atmosphere our supporters generated at St Mary’s Stadium for our match against North Macedonia gave our players and staff a tremendous lift, so the prospect of playing in front of thousands of fans at our national stadium later this month will be a special moment.
“Northern Ireland have made strong progress in recent years, qualifying earlier this year for the 2022 home UEFA Women’s EURO. On top of that, their recent 4-0 victory over Latvia shows the strength of their team and their determination to qualify for the World Cup.
“I can’t wait to get back together with our squad this weekend. Every player showed great ability and the collective positivity and ambition within the group was fantastic to see. We do still have one or two injuries to key players to contend with, but the depth in our squad is very strong.
“We hope to give our supporters more reasons to celebrate this month as we continue our progress towards qualification.”
The Lionesses meet up at England’s St. George’s Park base this Sunday before making the journey to London ahead of their historic competitive fixture at Wembley Stadium.
