A number of England internationals took to Twitter to express their delight at being selected in Mo Marley’s squad for the FIFA Women’s U20 World Cup.
The Young Lions will travel to Canada in August to take on South Korea (on 6 August), Mexico (9 August) and Nigeria (14 August).
And the players involved could not hide their joy at their call-up to what is the U20s’ first World Cup appearance since 2010.
Here is a selection of their tweets…
