Euro 2025 play-offs: Republic of Ireland’s Megan Connolly and Louise Quinn ruled out of Georgia games

The Republic of Ireland will be without Louise Quinn and Megan Connolly for their Euro 2025 play-off games against Georgia.

Centre-back Quinn has injured her hip while Lazio midfielder Connolly is out with a hamstring issue.

Republic of Ireland head coach Eileen Gleeson, who is already without several players through injury, has opted against calling up replacements.

Goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan is suspended for Friday’s first leg while Megan Campbell (ankle), Jess Ziu (knee), Ruesha Littlejohn (Achilles) and Jamie Finn (knee) are all out.

The Republic of Ireland are aiming to qualify for the European Championship for the first time after making their World Cup debut last year.

Gleeson’s side are expected to beat Georgia, who are ranked nearly 100 places below them in 118th. After Friday’s first leg in Tbilisi, the Republic of Ireland host Georgia in Dublin on Tuesday (19:30 GMT).

Victory in the two-legged tie would set up a second-round play-off against Slovakia or Wales.

Next year’s Euros will take place in Switzerland between 2 and 27 July.
