Interim head coach Eileen Gleeson has picked 26 players for Republic of Ireland’s final two games in their UEFA Women’s Nations League group.

There is a first call-up for Peamount United forward Ellen Dolan, the SSE Airtricity Women’s Premier Division Player of the Month for October / November. The 17-year-old, from Offaly, scored seven goals to finish as joint second top goalscorer for league-winning Peamount.

Both Jessie Stapleton and Ruesha Littlejohn return to the squad, while a number of players were not included due to still being on return to play procedures at their respective clubs following long-term injuries.

Ireland have already secured top spot in Group B1, which triggers promotion to League A in the Nations League, but they are keen to end the campaign with six straight wins.

The players will report into camp on Monday 27 November and begin preparations for the two games with training at the FAI National Training Centre.

Ireland host Hungary on Friday 1 December at Tallaght Stadium (KO 7,30pm) and then visit Northern Ireland on Tuesday 5 December at Windsor Park (KO 6pm), with both games live on RTÉ2.
