Chloe Mustaki will win only her second senior Ireland cap after Vera Pauw named her team for this evening’s World Cup qualifier in Sweden (5.30pm).

Mustaki has battled back from cancer and an ACL injury to revive her career and this opportunity against Europe’s best team before a 13,000 crowd in Gothenburg is well deserved.
