Mustaki answers call to join WNT squad

Mustaki answers call to join WNT squad

It is almost two full years since Chloe Mustaki was last involved with the Republic of Ireland Women's National Team but now she's back.

The Dubliner has been drafted into Vera Pauw's squad to replace Niamh Farrelly, who will not be risked due to a knock picked up on club duty with Glasgow City.

Mustaki is uncapped at senior level and will be keen to make up for lost time having last featured in the squad in March 2020, when she suffered an ACL injury in training.

The Shelbourne ace, who can play in defence or midfield, will report into Ireland camp in La Manga ahead of Wednesday's Pinatar Cup opener against Poland.
