Friday, 4th Oct 2024 09:45

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.

She will join up with the squad on Sunday with the Young Lionesses in Group C alongside Kenya, Mexico and North Korea.

Fisher, who has been capped at U17 level 15 times, scoring seven goals, was a member of the side which reached the final of the UEFA U17 Championship in Sweden last summer but lost 4-0 to Spain.

She hit a nine-minute hat-trick in a group stage game against the hosts, her only goals in the tournament.
 
England U17s: Rebekah Dowsett (Leicester City), Hope McSheffrey (Arsenal), Eva Spencer (Liverpool), Eva Gray (Arsenal), Sophie Harwood (Arsenal), Nelly Las (Leicester City), Rachel Maltby (Aston Villa), Niamh Peacock (Arsenal), Zara Shaw (Liverpool), Simone Sherwood (Leicester City), Cecily Wellesley-Smith (Arsenal/Oxford United), Emily Cassap (Sunderland), Laila Harbert (Arsenal), Vera Jones (Chelsea), Omotara Junaid (Arsenal), Erica Parkinson (FC Valadares), Lola Brown (Chelsea), Denny Draper (Leicester City), Isabella Fisher (Arsenal/Ipswich Town), Jane Oboavwoduo (Manchester City), Lauryn Thompson (Indy Eleven).

Great to see players getting international recognition but why are these tournaments played in the middle of the season?
She will now be unavailable for the next five games.
That's a significant part of the women's league/cup season.
Ridiculous scheduling!!

They do the same with the men/boys/lads U17 and U20 Events too scheduling wise.The only problem as sports followers know it can and does have more of an impact on female footy and all sports as they tend to play at top level earlier be it tennis,gymnastics or whatever.
Maybe over time FIFA will take that into account but I think domestic football in some countries has to settle ,heck even in England the top legue until recently was a summer event.
