Everton pair Chloe Kelly and Sandy MacIver have been named in Phil Neville's England squad for next month's SheBelieves Cup in America.
Striker Kelly is rewarded for a series of tremendous performances this season and will hope to add to the one senior cap she earned in November 2018.
The 22-year-old, who was summoned for an England training camp back in October, has been in prolific form for Willie Kirk's upwardly mobile Everton team this season.
Kelly has scored nine Women's Super League goals and was named the division's player of the month for September.
She is joined in defending champions England's party by goalkeeper MacIver, who completed a move to Everton from USA team Clemson Tigers last month.
MacIver started in Everton's Academy and returns to the national team fold six months after joining manager Neville's squad for friendly games against Norway and Belgium.
The 21-year-old was a bronze medallist with England's Under-20 side at the 2018 World Cup in France, where she was awarded the Golden Glove as the tournament's best keeper.
England launch their SheBelieves campaign against hosts and world champions USA in Orlando on Friday 6 March.
They move to New Jersey two days later to tackle Japan on Sunday 8 March.
Neville's side, who were undefeated in the four-team competition 12 months ago, complete this year's edition with a game against Spain back in Orlando on Wednesday 11 March.
Everton captain Lucy Graham, meanwhile, is named in Scotland's squad for the Pinatar Cup in Spain.
Midfielder Graham scored twice against Bristol City - the club she left for Everton last summer - in the Blues' 5-0 FA Cup victory on Monday.
Her country face Ukraine, Iceland and Northern Ireland in the Spanish tournament, which the Scots are using to prepare for a trio of forthcoming home Euro 2021 qualifying fixtures.
