Katie McCabe on course for 100th cap while Courtney Brosnan ruled out as Ireland squad announced for play-off against Belgium

Katie McCabe in action for Ireland

Courtney Brosnan will miss Ireland’s Nations League promotion play-off against Belgium while Megan Connolly and Liverpool striker Leanne Kiernan are also out through injury.

Brosnan has missed the last four games for WSL side Everton with a knee problem and her absence is a huge blow considering the paucity of available understudy options.
