Scotland Women: Eilidh Adams recalled for upcoming World Cup qualifying double-header against Belgium

Eilidh Adams has been recalled to the Scotland squad for next month's Women's World Cup qualifying double-header against Belgium.

The Hibernian forward, who has been capped three times, was out injured as Melissa Andreatta's side started their campaign with back-to-back wins against Luxembourg.

Birmingham City midfielder Chelsea Cornet and twice-capped Glasgow City defender Amy Muir are included again after having to withdraw from the previous camp through injury.

Rangers defender Leah Eddie retains her place after being a late call-up to the last squad.

Eddie's Rangers team-mate Jodi McLeary and Nottingham Forest midfielder Amy Rodgers miss out after being unused substitutes against Luxembourg.

"What it shows is how competitive the squad is and what players are doing off the park to make sure that they are in contention for selection," Andreatta told Your Site News.

"Then it comes down to form and performance and what the team needs for a certain window or certain opponent and credit to them for getting themselves available and then getting form on the board to be selected.

"The squad is in a good place and has been for a little while. We still want to build on what we've been doing though."

The Scots host Belgium, who also have six points from their opening two games, at Easter Road on April 14 and travel to Leuven four days later.

"We're going to be relentless in how we attack the game, defend the game and play our way against Belgium," the Scotland head coach added.

"Every window is a player for us, so that we learn to thrive with pressure.

"We know that to be in control of our destiny, we have to do the work in the game and put our best foot forward. That's what I expect we'll do."

Goalkeepers: Eartha Cumings (Manchester City), Lee Gibson (Glasgow City), Sandy MacIver (Washington Spirit).

Defenders: Georgia Brown (SC Jacksonville), Jenna Clark (Liverpool), Nicola Docherty (Rangers), Leah Eddie (Rangers), Sophie Howard (FC Como), Emma Lawton (Celtic), Rachel McLauchlan (Brighton), Amy Muir (Glasgow City), Charlotte Newsham (Charlton).

Midfielders: Chelsea Cornet (Birmingham City), Erin Cuthbert (Chelsea), Kirsty Maclean (Liverpool), Maria McAneny (Celtic), Miri Taylor (Aston Villa), Caroline Weir (Real Madrid).

Forwards: Eilidh Adams (Hibernian), Lauren Davidson (SK Brann), Freya Gregory (Newcastle United), Kirsty Hanson (Aston Villa), Kirsty Howat (Crystal Palace), Mia McAulay (Rangers), Kathleen McGovern (Hibernian).
