Torpey was part of the Australia squad which reached the AFC Women's Asian Cup final last month before suffering a 1-0 defeat against Japan in Sydney.

Lois Joel

Joel has been named in the Wales squad ahead of two FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying fixtures against Albania.

Rhian Wilkinson's side host Albania at the Racecourse Ground, home of Wrexham A.F.C, on Tuesday 14 April (kick-off 7:15pm BST) before travelling to the Elbasan Arena four days later to face the same opponents (kick-off 5pm BST).

A representative of England at youth level, Joel made her senior international debut for Cymru in February 2024.

Shania Hayles

Forward Hayles has been included in the Jamaica squad ahead of their FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers against Antigua & Arbuda and Guyana.

The Reggae Girlz host Antigua & Barbuda at the country's National Stadium in Kingston on Friday 10 April before facing Guyana on Saturday 18 April at the same venue.

Both games will kick-off at 7pm local time.

Hayles has netted two goals in Jamaica's 2027 World Cup qualifying campaign to date, scoring in an 18-0 thrashing of Dominica before bagging the winner in a 3-2 triumph over Nicaragua.

Aoife Mannion and Emily Murphy

Centre back Mannion and forward Murphy are both part of the Republic of Ireland squad that will face Poland twice in back-to-back FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers in April.

The two sides meet at the Gdansk Stadium on Tuesday, 14th April (kick-off 5pm BST) before returning to Dublin's Aviva Stadium for the second clash on Saturday, 18th April (kick-off 3pm BST).

Both have been regulars for club and country this term. Mannion captained the Magpies in Sunday's 1-1 Tyne-Wear derby draw with Sunderland, while Murphy saw her strike controversially ruled out for offside at the Stadium of Light.

Jasmine McQuade and Charlotte Wardlaw

The Magpies pair have been named in the Scotland Women Under-23s squad for a double-header of matches in Spain next month.

Scotland's youngsters will face France on Sunday 12 April at the Estadio Nueva Condomina in Murcia (kick-off 12pm BST) before facing either USA or Denmark four days later at the same venue. Kick-off will take place at either 12pm or 6pm (BST).

Freya Gregory

A staple of the Scotland squad, Gregory is back in Melissa Andreatta's squad for their FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers against Belgium.

The first encounter between the sides takes place at Hibernian's Easter Road on Tuesday, 14th April, followed by a game at The King Power at Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven on Saturday, 18th April. Both games kick-off at 7:30pm BST.

Former Aston Villa forward Gregory will be hoping to win her tenth senior cap for her country, having featured in the emphatic 5-0 and 7-0 wins over Luxembourg that started Andretta's side's qualifying campaign in February.
