Sheffield United and Northern Ireland <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sheffield United\u2019s on-loan midfielder has this season broken into the Northern Ireland national team, switching allegiances after previously having represented England at U16, U17 and U21 level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scofield has featured from the bench in three of the last four Nations League matches, during her loan spell from London City Lionesses, and is yet to score for the Northern Ireland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scofield was set to feature in matches against Poland and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the upcoming international window, but had to withdraw on 21 May after suffering a hamstring injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Esther Morgan &#8211; Sheffield United and Wales <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Esther Morgan has ten caps for the Welsh national team, having risen through the Welsh U17 and U19 teams to make her full international debut in 2021 while playing for Tottenham. Esther has since struggled with injury in recent seasons, but was recalled to the squad for April\u2019s international window for games against Denmark and Sweden, playing the first half in a 1-1 draw against Sweden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esther is set to feature again after being called up to the squad for the upcoming Nations League games against Denmark and Italy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jade Bailey &#8211; Sheffield United and Jamaica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jade Bailey has received 8 caps for Jamaica since making her international debut in 2021 while playing for Liverpool, featuring in the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship as the Reggae Girlz made it to the semi-finals.
