Arsenal Women midfielder Jordan Nobbs was forced to withdraw from Sarina Wiegman's latest 25-player squad amid injury concerns upon arriving to St. George's Park.
Nobbs started for the Gunners in their 4-0 Women's Super League victory over bottom-of-the-table Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, helping to extend an unbeaten start to the season and seal a place at the top of the table above Chelsea - who have played one game more - before heading into the final international break of the year.
The Lionesses are set to culminate a history-making year with a double-header against Japan and Norway in Spain, but England boss Sarina Wiegman has reportedly suffered a double injury blow as Nobbs and Manchester City forward Lauren Hemp were both ruled out due to minor injury concerns - a decision taken in consultation with their respective Women's Super League clubs.
