Established players sure to miss out on the flight to Brisbane as injury and form will influence Dutch coach’s selection
Kyra Carusa and Amber Barrett have done enough to be included. Carusa was impressive against the US in April while Barrett bagged two goals against Zambia last Thursday so Sheva’s inclusion puts pressure on Leanne Kiernan and Abbie Larkin.

Mannion only recently had a brace removed from her knee following medial collateral ligament damage sustained at Manchester United training.
