England defender Ella Morris has withdrawn from the squad after sustaining anterior cruciate ligament damage in training.
Tottenham right-back Morris had been hoping to make her senior England debut against Portugal in Friday’s Nations League game at Wembley after being included in Sarina Wiegman’s squad for the first time.
The 22-year-old will undergo surgery, Tottenham have confirmed.

Morris, who suffered a similar injury aged 17 while at first club Southampton, said on social media she had gone “from the highest high to the lowest low”.
She added: “Devastated doesn’t even come close. So grateful for the incredible people around me. ACL round 2 – let’s go.”
Manchester City midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown has been called up to the squad as Morris’ replacement.
England said in a statement: “Ella Morris has suffered an ACL injury in training and will return to Tottenham Hotspur to begin her rehabilitation. England’s support team will remain in close contact with her and the club.
We're all with you, @ellabmorris. ❤️
