The defending European champions kick off against Sweden at Wembley on Friday before facing Republic of Ireland in Dublin four days later.
England then play France at St James바카라 Park in May and Tottenham loanee Clinton believes the side will need to be on 바카라top form바카라.
바카라It was drawn right after the last camp, it바카라s a really competitive group but that바카라s always going to happen when you바카라re in such an amazing tournament,바카라 Clinton told a press conference.
바카라I think we바카라re all really excited to get started to be honest and hit the ground running.
바카라(Sweden are) another team that has amazing depth and are a really strong side, they바카라re very physical and quite direct, score goals. So we바카라re going to have to be on top form if we want to get a result against a team like that.바카라
Clinton has two senior England caps under her belt already having made her debut in two friendlies in Spain, which included a debut goal in the Lionesses바카라 7-2 victory over Austria.
After impressing in Spain, the 21-year-old will be aiming for more minutes in this month바카라s qualifiers and believes she has gained more confidence since making her senior bow.
She said: 바카라It brings so much more confidence, in the lead up to getting your first cap you바카라re always going to be very nervous and now that you바카라ve been out with the girls on the pitch and really gone in the deep end it just feels a lot more natural when you바카라re in training.
바카라You have far more confidence to express yourself each time.바카라Captain Leah Williamson is aiming to make her international comeback in the upcoming matches.

A post on the official Lionesses X account confirmed the defender was following an 바카라individualised session바카라 on Tuesday and Clinton is looking forward to seeing Williamson back on the pitch.
바카라It바카라s my first camp with Leah back in and she바카라s one of the best in the sport isn바카라t she? So it바카라s amazing to have her back,바카라 she said.
바카라Obviously she바카라s getting integrated slowly and we바카라re only a couple of days in, so it바카라ll be really nice to get her back with the team on the pitch.바카라
