Scotland women: Caroline Weir and Emma Watson return for Hungary tie | Football News

Caroline Weir and Emma Watson are back in the Scotland squad for this month’s European Championship first-round play-off with Hungary.

Real Madrid midfielder Weir suffered an ACL injury while on Scotland duty last year and has recently returned to club action.

Watson, who suffered the same injury a week earlier, is back playing with Manchester United.

Pedro Martinez Losa is without captain Rachel Corsie for this month’s games – the Aston Villa defender is not expected to return until December following knee surgery.
