Last month, the manager said the scorer of England's extra-time winner in the Euro 2022 final had earned "enough credit" that merited her selection for the friendly defeat by Germany and win o Ver South Africa.
Kelly has started once in the WSL this season and did not make the XI at Chelsea last Saturday despite the absence of Lauren Hemp, who is out of the England squad after knee surgery. Kelly made her fourth league substitute appearance in that match and Wiegman was asked when the 26-year-old's lack of minutes at City would become a problem.
"It's a concern right now already," she said. "It's a hard situation. We have to look at what's available in our squad. We have some injuries up front: Lauren Hemp, Lauren James. Chloe knows that she is not in the best position with her club at the moment. But [she has] enough credit to bring her in, related to the whole team and availability of players."
