Lily Agg has been called into the Republic of Ireland squad for the first time.
The 28-year-old midfielder - who is a native of Brighton - qualifies to represent Ireland through her Cork-born grandmother.
Agg currently plays with the London City Lionesses and is one of 27 players included.
Injury rules out the likes of Diane Caldwell and Savannah McCarthy, but Chloe Mustaki and Abbie Larkin retain their places having made their debuts last month.
