Celtic striker Saoirse Noonan and Bristol City defender Chloe Mustaki have been recalled to the Ireland women's squad for April's Nations League games.

Noonan has been rewarded for her form with Celtic this season, alongside Mustaki, with both players out of the squad since the 2023/2024 Nations League campaign.

Also returning to the squad is Shelbourne midfielder Aoibheann Clancy, who won one cap two and a half years ago.

Clancy is one of two Airtricity Women's League players alongside Ruesha Littlejohn.

Megan Connolly, Louise Quinn, Jamie Finn, Jess Ziu, and Lily Agg are unavailable due to injury.

Ireland will be hoping to bounce back from a 4-0 defeat to Slovenia in their last game.

Carla Ward's side will be away to Greece on April 4th, before hosting them the following Tuesday.
