Laura Coombs wasn't even contemplating England after seven years away from the international scene.
But the Man City midfielder has now put herself right in the mix to be named as one of Sarina Wiegman's midfielders this summer, when the Lionesses look to win back-to-back major tournaments down under after last summer's Euros triumph. Coombs has been one City's most consistent performers in the WSL this season, helping her side fightback to be right in the title mix as they head for the crucial run-in, after they opened the campaign with consecutive defeats.
That starts when Chelsea visit the Academy Stadium for a huge clash on Sunday as part of women's football weekend. Coombs will be looking to help City extend their unbeaten league run and give a shot in the arm to their title chances.
