Team mates Chelsea Cornet and Brogan Hay also return the Scotland squad while Hibs defender Leah Eddie is another squad recall following her excellent recent form with the capital club.
The Spanish boss is still without several injured squad members after losing both Caroline Weir and Emma Watson to ACL injuries that were suffered during the UEFA Nations League campaign last year. Rangers duo Kirsty Maclean and Kirsty Howat are also both absent due to knee injuries. Scotland centurion Hayley Lauder of Glasgow City also retains her place in the squad having made her long awaited return to the squad in the 1-1 draw with Belgium. Bayern Munich midfielder Sam Kerr is also included after recovering from injury.
