Uncapped duo Hannah Blundell and Gabby George have been named in the England Women's squad for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup.

New head coach Phil Neville has named his first ever squad as new head coach for the tournament in the United States, which begins with a clash against France on March 1.

There is a recall for Chelsea defender Anita Asante for the first time since 2015, while club-mate Hannah Blundell has the chance of her first cap.

Everton's Gabby George is another uncapped player, having previously been in the squad for last November's qualifiers.

The group will be joined by Arsenal's Leah Williamson, who is travelling to the US as part of her continued development around the England set-up, but she will not be able to play in the three fixtures.

The 23-player squad is led by captain Steph Houghton and they will meet up this weekend in London before travelling to the US for the prestigious four-team tournament also involving the host nation and Germany.

Full squad: Karen Bardsley, Siobhan Chamberlain, Carly Telford, Anita Asante, Hannah Blundell, Millie Bright, Lucy Bronze, Gabby George, Alex Greenwood, Steph Houghton, Demi Stokes, Isobel Christiansen, Jordan Nobbs, Jill Scott, Keira Walsh, Fara Williams, Karen Carney, Toni Duggan, Fran Kirby, Melissa Lawley, Nikita Parris, Jodie Taylor, Ellen White
