Women's Nations League: Cliftonville defender Kelsie Burrows returns to Northern Ireland squad
- Published
Burrows was in the NI squad for the summer friendlies against Czechia and Scotland
Cliftonville defender Kelsie Burrows has been recalled to the Northern Ireland squad for their Nations League double-header against Hungary.
Burrows is the only addition from last month's games, with nobody dropping out, meaning manager Tanya Oxtoby has a 24-strong panel.
There is again no place for experienced defender Julie Nelson.
NI are away to Hungary next Friday, 27 October, before playing them at Seaview in Belfast the following Tuesday.
Both games will be streamed live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
Former Linfield defender Burrows, 22, was part of the Northern Ireland squad that played in last summer's Euro finals.
Nelson, Northern Ireland's record appearance-maker, was left out of Oxtoby's first squad last month, having recently returned from a long-term injury, and is not selected this time.
Northern Ireland lost their first match in the inaugural Women's Nations League match last month, losing 3-0 to the Republic of Ireland in Dublin, before beating Albania 1-0 at home a few days later.
The match against the Republic at the Aviva was Oxtoby's first game in charge of the side after she was appointed as Kenny Shiels' replacement in August.
Hungary drew with Albania away in their opening game in League B Group 1 and then lost 4-0 at home to the Republic in their second outing.
Northern Ireland's fixtures in the competition will conclude with an away game against Albania on Friday 1 December followed by a home meeting with the Republic four days later.
