England star Fran Kirby has been named in the Lionesses squad for the first time in eight months after returning from a knee injury - but slots Beth Mead misses out despite her own recovery from a ruptured ACL slots
Kirby and Mead were key players as England won the Euros but both missed out on this summer’s Women’s World Cup because of significant injuries, and were major absentees as the Lionesses were defeated by Spain in the Sydney final slots
Kirby underwent surgery at the end of last season and made her first start of the campaign in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over West Ham at the weekend - Mead, however, only returned to the pitch on Sunday as a late substitute in Arsenal’s 2-1 comeback win against Aston Villa, where she set up Alessia Russo’s winner slots
But manager Sarina Wiegman has decided that this month’s double-header against Belgium in the Uefa Nations League has come too soon for the Euros golden boot winner slots
The Lionesses face Belgium in Leicester on 27 October before the return fixture in Leuven on 31 October slots
Mead had said after her return to the pitch that she was hoping for a recall and insisted she was “ready” to make the Lionesses squad, but Wiegman said the 28-year-old was “not close” after only just returning to the pitch following nine months out slots
Wiegman said Mead still needed time to “build” her fitness after such a lengthy lay-off slots

Wiegman has meanwhile handed first senior call-ups to 20-year-old Grace Clinton, who is on loan at Tottenham from Manchester United, as well as 19-year-old Manchester City goalkeeper Khiara Keating slots
The Lionesses were beaten by the Netherlands last month in Nations League Group A1 and head into the double-header against Belgium third in the standings slots
England must win the group to have a chance of qualifying for next summer’s Paris Olympics as part of Team GB slots

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best slots
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport slots
But there are no Blacks in your sport slots
“They’re going to want to kill you slots
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on slots
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car slots
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events slots
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all slots
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself slots
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed slots
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride slots
“But I enjoyed it slots
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun slots
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me slots
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating slots
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs slots
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality slots
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 slots
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” slots
But to this interview, he’s late slots
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems slots
It was the racing way or the highway slots
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas slots
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill slots
That’s all that was discussed in the family slots
We didn’t discuss any other sport slots
“I was lucky, I think slots
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be slots
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did slots
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One slots
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s slots
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too slots
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril slots
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer slots
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time slots
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says slots
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team slots
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders slots
“Sure slots
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done slots
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it slots
But for me? It was about going fast slots
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali slots
“What I admired about him the most was not his slots boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali slots
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled slots
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while slots
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about slots
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs slots
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience slots
The attention went off the chart slots
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods slots
“He’s a very kind man slots
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way slots
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair slots
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with slots
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently slots
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world slots
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made slots
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says slots
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One slots
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ slots
