Ireland manager Vera Pauw has named a 26-strong provisional squad for the upcoming Euro 2021 qualifiers against Greece and Montenegro.

The squad also sees the return of Courtney Brosnan, Harriet Scott, Megan Connolly, Niamh Farrelly, Ruesha Littlejohn and Heather Payne who all missed Ireland's most recent qualifier against Greece in November. Megan Connolly and Keeva Keenan both miss out through injury.

Ireland play Greece at Tallaght Stadium on March 5th before travelling to face Montenegro on March 11th. 3,500 have already gone for the home tie.
