Tuesday 10 April 2018 08:18, UK
Demi Stokes and Fran Kirby have withdrawn from the England squad ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Manchester City full-back Stokes felt unwell following Friday's goalless draw with Wales and has returned to her club, while Kirby has been released back to Chelsea as "part of the management of an ongoing injury concern".
The duo will now miss Tuesday night's Women's World Cup qualifier against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Zenica.
The Lionesses are currently second in their qualification group, one point behind Wales but with a game in hand.
