Chloe Kelly left Manchester City to join Arsenal on loan in January Chloe Kelly has been called into the England squad to replace the injured Beth Mead for their Women's Nations League matches this month. The 27-year-old joined Arsenal on loan from Manchester City on deadline day in January after saying she "wanted to be happy again" in a social media post. The forward has made just one Women's Super League start this season and was not named in the original Lionesses squad by Sarina Wiegman last week. However, Kelly made her return to action in Sunday's 5-0 win over Tottenham at Emirates Stadium and hit the crossbar in a bright appearance as a substitute. Mead was on the bench for that game but has withdrawn from the England squad with an injury, as has defender Lotte Wubben-Moy, who missed Sunday's north London derby victory.
