Toni Duggan, Fara Williams and Jordan Nobbs have been included in the England women’s squad for their Euro 2017 qualifier this month after returning from injury.

Williams, England’s most-capped player, and Nobbs have recovered from hamstring injuries, while Duggan has had ankle problems.

The Lionesses face Germany in a friendly in Duisburg on Thursday before taking on Bosnia & Herzegovina in a European Championship qualifier at Ashton Gate, Bristol on 29 November – which will be their first home game since they secured third place at the World Cup in Canada by beating Germany 1-0 through a Williams penalty.

The England manager, Mark Sampson, said: “2015 has been an amazing year for the team and our supporters, full of special memories.

“To end the year with a match in Germany, one of the biggest tests in women’s football, and then the team’s homecoming in Bristol against Bosnia is a fitting way to mark such a big year for the game.”
