Manchester United goalkeeper Siobhan Chamberlain has been called up to the England squad for their matches against Brazil and Australia.

The former Liverpool keeper steps in after first-choice keeper Karen Bardsley was forced to withdraw with an ankle injury.

The 33-year-old will return to Manchester City for further assessment.

On Monday, Seattle Reign forward Jodie Taylor also withdrew from Phil Neville's squad with a bone bruise.

The 32-year-old - who was the top goalscorer at Euro 2017 - will also miss the fixture with Sweden in November.

The Lionesses play Brazil at Meadow Lane, home of Notts County, on Saturday, before taking on Australia at Fulham's Craven Cottage the following Tuesday.
