Republic of Ireland Women’s National Team Head Coach Colin Bell has named a 21-player squad ahead of the crucial FIFA 2019 World Cup qualifiers against Norway.
Donegal’s Tyler Toland and Amber Barrett are named among the midfielders and forwards.
Inishowen’s Roma McLaughlin misses out having only just returned to action with Shelbourne Ladies after a leg injury while Amy Boyle-Carr misses out due to the leaving certificate.
Republic of Ireland WNT Head Coach Colin Bell said: “These are two crucial games against Norway, the top seeds in the group, and we’ll have to be at our very best to get the results we need.
The players have been excellent so far this campaign but we need two big performances both at Tallaght Stadium and in Norway.”
Ireland face Norway on Friday, June 8 with kick-off at 5.30pm at Tallaght Stadium, Dublin before they travel to Stavanger, Norway for the away fixture on Tuesday, June 12, with kick-off at 5pm (6pm local time).
