The Republic of Ireland Women's National Team begin preparations for their next 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifiers on Monday.

Shelbourne defender Jessie Stapleton, Celtic's Isibeal Atkinson and Birmingham City forward Emily Whelan have all been drafted into the set-up.

Stapleton, 16, is included for the first time following an impressive debut season in the SSE Airtricity Women's National League and stand-out performances at the Ireland WNT Home-Based sessions.

Injuries rule out Glasgow City's Claire Walsh, Wexford Youths midfielder Ellen Molloy and Liverpool forward Leanne Kiernan.

The squad will train at the FAI National Training Centre on Monday afternoon ahead of taking on Slovakia on Thursday, November 25th and then Georgia on Tuesday, November 30th - both at Tallaght Stadium.
