'The biggest relief is of course that it is not a long-term injury, it is just a matter of whether she can play against the USA or not, but no fear for the World Cup.'
VERA PAUW HAS eased any injury fears surrounding Katie McCabe by including the Republic of Ireland captain in her squad to face USA.
“We are waiting on the final say of the doctor but her x-ray is clear and her scan is clear,” said Ireland boss Pauw this morning. There are first call-ups in the Ireland squad for Lewes goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse, Peamount United defender Tara O’Hanlon and Shamrock Rovers attacker Alannah McEvoy. “When an injury like that occurs I step back, I do not interfere at all. We have a Plan A and a Plan B, we discuss that among the technical staff. Then we wait for news. It is up to the doctors at that point.”
