Ipswich Town Women’s striker Isabella Fisher has been named in the England U17s squad for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic later this month.
Fisher, 17, joined Town on duel registration terms from Arsenal in the summer and netted her first Blues goal in the 3-1 FAWNL Cup victory at Exeter on Sunday.
