Ireland Women's Team Faces Injuries Ahead of Euro Playoff

The Republic of Ireland women's football team will be without key players Louise Quinn and Megan Connolly for their Euro 2025 play-off matches against Georgia due to injuries. Quinn is sidelined with a hip injury, while Connolly is out with a hamstring issue. Head coach Eileen Gleeson has opted not to call up replacements, despite already dealing with several other injuries, including a suspension for goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan. The first leg will take place in Tbilisi on October 25, followed by a home match in Tallaght on October 29. Ireland is expected to win against Georgia, who are ranked almost 100 places lower, and a successful outcome would lead to a second-round play-off against either Slovakia or Wales. The matches will be broadcast live on RTÉ2.
