Jess Naz replaces Jess Park in England squad for Brazil and Australia friendlies

Jess Naz replaces Jess Park in England squad for Brazil and Australia friendlies

Tottenham forward Jess Naz has been called up to the England squad for the friendlies against Brazil and Australia after Manchester United midfielder Jess Park withdrew because of a delayed concussion.

Naz, 25, won the most recent of her six caps as a substitute during February’s Wembley win over Spain.

The Football Association said on Wednesday that Park, who sustained a delayed concussion following United’s 4-1 Women’s Super League win at Everton on October 12, “experienced some symptoms” during the graded return-to-play process after reporting for international duty.

The 24-year-old has now returned to her club to continue her rehabilitation.

Liverpool captain Grace Fisk was on Monday drafted into Sarina Wiegman’s group in place of injured Arsenal defender Katie Reid.

The Lionesses, returning to action for the first time since defending their European crown in Switzerland over the summer, face Brazil at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday before taking on the Matildas three days later at Pride Park.
