There are no injury concerns for Scotland with West Ham United’s Lisa Evans and AC Milan’s Christy Grimshaw returning to the squad after missing September’s games against the Faroe Islands and Netherlands. Kirsty Hanson earns a recall to Martinez-Losa’s squad after an impressive start to the season for Aston Villa.

Capped by her country 74 times, Christie Murray told the official Scotland website the squad are desperate to return to the world stage as they prepare to face Austria on Thursday.

"I think it just makes you all the more determined to get back there. When you’ve enjoyed an experience like that, and everything that comes with it, you just want the chance to do it all over again” she said.

“It means everything, but there’s also no need to build it up too much in your head.

"It’s a game of football and we’ve being doing that all our lives. There are potentially two games between us and a World Cup. This is what it’s all about."
