fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>Mead suffered a tear of her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in November 2022 but returned to action last month and made her first start for Arsenal in Sunday\u2019s 3-0 victory over Brighton.<\/p>\n<p>Wiegman had opted against re-calling Mead for October\u2019s double header with Belgium, with the Lionesses boss believing the forward needed more game time.<\/p>\n<p>But with England needing to beat both the Netherlands and Scotland to have any chance of qualifying for next year\u2019s Olympic Games, Wiegman has brought the Euro 2022 golden boot winner back into the fold.<\/p>\n<p>Mead\u2019s last cap for England came in a 4-0 victory over Japan on November 11 last year, shortly before she suffered the season-ending knee injury.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
