Scotland recall Sam Kerr & Martha Thomas for World Cup play-offs

Thomas’ Newcastle club-mate Freya Gregory – and Como defender Sophie Howard – who were forced to pull out of the last camp for the qualifying double-header against Israel, are also back in the squad.

Celtic midfielder, Maria McAneny – who last featured when scoring in a seven-goal thrashing of Luxembourg in March, returns too.

Defenders Leah Eddie and Kenzie Weir drop out, as do strikers Eilidh Adams and Laura Berry.

Mia McAulay was a late addition for the June double-header, but the Aston Villa youngster retains her place.

Andreatta’s unbeaten side topped their qualifying group on goal difference – one better off than second-placed Belgium – and are now four games away from their first major tournament since the 2019 World Cup, having missed the past two European Championships and the 2023 World Cup.

Though Scotland missed out on the tournament in Australia three years ago, Andreatta was there as part of her previous role as the Matildas’ assistant coach.

From that experience, she pointed to the need for “squad depth”, which she added was key behind recalling such players.

“In any match or tournament football, we need squad depth,” she explained.

“You need more than a 12-13 player roster to get deep into a tournament, and I am going to be that glass-half full optimist that says, ‘that is where we want to be, that is where we want to get to’.

“So, it’s my responsibility to start preparing for that.

“That means we have a squad in form, playing in multiple positions and is attacking-minded, which is the thinking behind those selections.”
