Littlejohn included in matchday squad for Sweden game

Ruesha Littlejohn has been named in the Republic of Ireland’s matchday squad for the Euro 2025 qualifier against Sweden.

Littlejohn missed the 3-0 defeat to the same opponent last Friday. She was nursing an ongoing Achilles problem.

However, the midfielder has been deemed fit to play in tonight’s game in Stockholm.

Ballon D’or nominee Katie McCabe has also been included. Concerns were raised about her fitness following last Friday's clash.

Denise O’Sullivan remains absent with a knee injury while Erin McLaughlin and Eva Mangan didn’t make the cut.

The Girls in Green remain pointless in Group A3 with three defeats from as many games to date.

Kick off at the Friends Arena in Stockholm is at 5.30pm, Irish time.
