The Manchester City midfielder Laura Coombs has said her England call-up, eight years after she got her second of two caps, was a “shock”. “As far as I was aware, I’d never even been on standby before this camp,” said the 32-year-old from St George’s Park on Tuesday.
“I was surprised. It’s been so long. I didn’t think about the international stage any more. I was thinking I was going to get a break but I am really happy to be here. It was a shock but now I’m here, I’m ready to get to work.”
