Donegal trio named on Ireland WNT squad

Tyler Toland

Republic of Ireland boss Carla Ward hopes her new recruit can fill the gap left by the injured Leanne Kiernan.

The Liverpool attacker will miss the upcoming Nations League matches against Turkey and Slovenia with a quad injury.

US-born Erin Healy – with a Monaghan grandparent – has received her first call-up.

Louise Quinn has been named in the squad while Megan Connolly returns after missing the back-to-back wins over Greece last month.

Donegal players Amber Barrett, Tyler Toland and Anna Patten are also included.

Captain Katie McCabe will link up with the squad in Turkey after this weekend’s Champions League final.
