Birmingham's Sophie Baggaley earns first England call-up

Birmingham City goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley has been handed her first call-up to England Womens in place of the injured Siobhan Chamberlain.

Liverpool Ladies 'keeper Chamberlain was forced to withdraw from the squad to face in Guadalajara on Tuesday because of an abdominal strain.

The 19-year old Baggaley, who has been part of England's youth teams from U17 to U23 level, said: "I'm delighted. I have been brought into training sessions when I was part of the Next Gen squad, but to be called up to the senior squad officially is a dream come true. Hopefully I can learn a lot this week."

England goalkeeping coach Lee Kendall, said: "Sophie has really come on this season, doing well for Birmingham.

"She is also the type of personality and character who fits well into the team.

"Sophie trained with the squad earlier in the camp at St. George's Park and really impressed with her shot-stopping and has certainly earned her right to be part of the squad."
