"Ellie Roebuck has received her first England call-up since 2023 to replace the injured Khiara Keating. Keating has withdrawn from the squad after sustaining a small groin injury in training on Friday and has returned to Manchester City. As such, Roebuck has been added to Sarina Wiegman's squad for their friendlies against China and Ghana. Ellie Roebuck has been added to the #Lionesses squad to face China at a sold out Wembley Stadium later today."
"Roebuck has 11 caps for England and was part of the squads for both the 2022 European Championship triumph and the 2023 World Cup, when the Lionesses reached the final. The goalkeeping position has been in the spotlight this international break, with number one Hannah Hampton out of the squad with a thigh injury. Keating had looked favourite to start on Saturday against China, having earned her first cap last month, with the uncapped Anna Moorhouse and Sophie Baggaley the other options for Wiegman."
Ellie Roebuck has been called back into England's squad to replace Khiara Keating, who withdrew with a small groin injury sustained in training and returned to Manchester City. Roebuck's recall is her first since 2023. She has 11 caps and was part of the 2022 European Championship-winning and 2023 World Cup squads. The goalkeeping position has been under scrutiny this international break after number one Hannah Hampton was left out with a thigh injury. Keating had been the likely starter despite earning her first cap last month, with Anna Moorhouse and Sophie Baggaley as other options. Roebuck joins the squad for friendlies against China and Ghana.
