The Republic of Ireland have named their squad for the friendly match against Women’s World Cup winners USA next month.
The squad travels to California on Monday with former assistant coach Tom O’Connor managing the team for the game in the wake of Colin Bell’s departure.
The tie, which takes place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, will be the USA’s first game since defeating the Netherlands to win the World Cup in early July.
There are five changes to the squad that faced Italy in April, with Denise O’Sullivan and Megan Campbell ruled out due to club commitments.
The game takes place on August 3 and kicks off at 3am Irish time
