Bayern Munich midfielder Sam Kerr has returned to the Scotland squad after injury for their Nations League group games against Belgium and England.

The 24-year-old missed out on the two defeats by the Netherlands in October.

Also returning are London City Lionesses defender Emma Mukandi, Bristol City striker Abi Harrison and Rangers forward Brogan Hay.

Pedro Martinez Losa's side sit bottom of Group A and must win both games to have a chance of avoiding relegation.

Scotland have one point, with England on six and Belgium on seven, before the final two matches of the inaugural group stage.

The Scots travel to face Belgium on Friday, 1 December before hosting England at Hampden four days later.

Dropping out are uncapped Rangers defender Kathryn Hill, clubmate striker Kirsty Howat and Celtic midfielder Jenny Smith, while Chelsea Cornett, the Rangers midfielder who was a late addition last time, is also not included.

Scotland are still without two key midfielders - Real Madrid's Caroline Weir and Manchester United's Emma Watson - through long-term injury.
