Celtic's Amy Gallacher has been handed her first call up to the Scotland Women's squad, while Chelsea midfielder Erin Cuthbert will miss the upcoming Nations League matches.
The striker is part of Pedro Martinez Losa's squad for the games against England and Belgium after impressing in the SWPL.
Cuthbert, who has 57 international caps, is currently out injured but captain Rachel Corsie is included after returning to fitness.
AC Milan striker Christy Grimshaw has also been recalled after missing the international friendlies in July.
There are eight SWPL players in Losa's latest squad, with Glasgow City's Lee Gibson set to reach 50 appearances if she plays in both fixtures.
Scotland play England at the Stadium of Light on September 22 in their first meeting since the 2019 World Cup, when England were 2-1 winners.
They then take on Belgium at Hampden Park on September 26.
The new competition follows the template set by UEFA with the men's Nations League and has 51 competing nations, split into two leagues of 16 and one of 19 teams.
The winners of the four League A groups will progress to a finals competition that will also decide which countries qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games.
