Aoife Mannion and Megan Campbell won’t be among the 23-player Ireland squad for the Women’s World Cup, the Irish Examiner has learned.

Both players struggled for fitness towards the end of the Women’s Super League season for Manchester United and Liverpool respectively, leaving it too tight for Vera Pauw to name either when the squad is unveiled on Wednesday morning.
