England will play games against USA on Wednesday March 4, Sweden two days later and Denmark on Sunday, March 8 in the La Manga Tournament in Spain.
Le Tissier, 17, has established herself in Albion’s FA Women’s Super League team this season after joining the club in May 2018, making 13 appearances in league and cup.

Last year she captained England under-17s in the European Championships.
She said, “This season has gone really well and I feel that my game has definitely improved.
“It’s nice to get recognition but I’m looking to get even better and I definitely think that the environment here can help me do that.
"I have learned so much from playing alongside a world-class player like Danique Kerkdijk this season. Everyone pushes each other to improve.”
