Two-time former champion Fionnuala McCormack will headline the Irish team at next month's European Cross Country Championships in Brussels.

The four-time Olympian returned from maternity leave last month to finish 13th at the Valencia Half Marathon, clocking 1:10:13, and the 39-year-old will be back in Valencia for the marathon on 3 December, shooting for an Olympic qualifying time.
