Republic of Ireland women's boss Pauw names a squad of 24 for Greece

Republic of Ireland women's team manager Vera Pauw has today announced a 24-player squad for the Euro 2021 qualifier against Greece on November 12th. 

The Girls in Green have two wins from two in qualifying ahead of the showdown in Athens.

Midfielder Denise O'Sullivan, who recently helped North Carolina Courage retain their NWSL title in the United States, is included along with three players who have qualified for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League (Louise Quinn, Katie McCabe, Clare Shine).

Wexford Youths forward Rianna Jarrett is also part of the squad following last Sunday's triumph in the FAI Women's Cup Final at Lansdowne Road, while seven other home-based players have been called up.

Ireland sit second in Group I following victories over Montenegro and Ukraine with five goals scored and two conceded. This next game, against Greece, will be the final fixture of 2019 before action resumes in March 2020 with a double header (home to Greece, away to Montenegro). Germany sit on top of the Group and are the front runners to qualify automatically.

The squad will meet up tomorrow to begin preparations for the game before flying to Greece on Sunday ahead of Tuesday's qualifier.
