The Republic of Ireland will be without Liverpool midfielder Niamh Fahey and Everton player Heather Payne for their forthcoming Euro 2025 qualifier double-header against Sweden.

Both players are unavailable because of Achilles injuries.

Chloe Mustaki, Tara O'Hanlon and Jamie Finn are absent as they continue their recovery from long-term injuries while midfielder Sinead Farrelly recently retired from international football after a year as part of the squad.

There is a first call-up however for Women's Under-19 midfielder Eva Mangan, who has impressed for Cork City this season in the Women's Premier Division.

The Republic will host Sweden in their Group A3 encounter at the Aviva Stadium on Friday 31 May and then travel to Stockholm for the second meeting between the sides on Tuesday 4 June.

That will be the 10th meeting overall at senior women's level between the countries.

Having been handed an exceptionally tough group, the Irish team lost 1-0 away to France in their opening group fixture on 5 April and were then beaten 2-0 by England in Dublin four days later.

Eileen Gleeson's side will gather at the FAI National Training Centre to begin their preparations for the two matches on 27 May.
