Sandy MacIver is one of three players in Phil Neville's squad that could make their international debut at the SheBelieves Cup.
The 21-year-old shot-stopper has represented her country at age group level and was called into the senior squad for last summer's friendlies, but didn't make an appearance against either Belgium or Norway.
Clearly impressed with what he has seen so far, Neville has now handed MacIver another chance to become a fully-fledged Lioness by naming her as one of his goalkeepers alongside Carly Telford and Ellie Roebuck.

But who is she?
Perhaps most importantly her surname is pronounced 'MacEever' and most interestingly she started out playing her football as a striker.
Originally from Winsford in Cheshire, where her family still lives, MacIver started playing for a local boys club when she was six before progressing to the Crewe Alexandra academy.
It was there where she had her first taste of playing in goal before getting through trials at Everton and later switching to Manchester City before moving to the USA to study in 2016.
"I played for a while in the Crewe Alexandra academy and in my last year there we needed some goalkeeping cover - so I played in one of the games and I wasn't that bad," she said.
"At the end of that season I had to try and find a new club so I was trialing as a keeper, which in hindsight was probably a bit of a risk, and Everton picked me up.
"I played there for four years and then played one more year at Manchester City before I moved to the USA."
Wanting to continue her studies and play football at the same time, MacIver accepted a scholarship to play for the Clemson University college team in South Carolina.
There she quickly established herself as the number-one keeper for the Tigers but was still making frequent trips back home as she worked her way up the England development teams.
Upon graduation MacIver was offered a contract by former club Everton and made her professional debut for the Toffees in a 3-1 win over Reading back in January.
"I loved my time over in America - they focus a lot on fitness and strength over there - which I definitely think is going to help me develop my game further, especially being a keeper," she added.
"There was a lot of flying backwards and forwards while I was playing in the youth set-up and I've racked up a lot of air miles but it was all worthwhile for sure.
"It's amazing to come back and find the WSL in the shape that it is in now and you can see that each season it has just been getting better and better.
"The quality of the players in that league now is so high but i am so proud to be able to say that I am a professional footballer - which is something I never thought would be possible."
It might be almost midnight at home, but in Orlando, it's arrival time for the #Lionesses 🌴☀️

It's been a whirlwind few months for the young keeper but now having returned to American soil soon with the national team, she is hoping to soak up as much as she can with her new team-mates.
"I can't wait to work with Carly [Telford] as she is a keeper with a lot of experience but we've also got Steph [Houghton] and Jill [Scott] here to learn from which is amazing, said MacIver.
"I am part of a squad here where there is something to learn from all the players, even the younger ones so it is a very exciting time for me."
