Tyler Toland has gone straight back into the Republic of Ireland WNT starting line-up at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon.

The St Johnston woman has been included in the XI named by interim manager Eileen Gleeson for the Nations League opener in Dublin.

There are over 38,000 tickets sold for the historic game.

Toland has not played since September 2019 when she scored in a  2-0 win over Montenegro in Tallaght.

After a public fall-out with then manager Vera Pauw, Toland went into international exile, but was immediately returned by Gleeson, who is in temporary charge following the departure of Pauw.

The 22-year-old Toland is now on the books of Blackburn Rovers. Previously, she played for Manchester City, Glasgow City, Celtic and Levante.

Amber Barrett is among the Republic of Ireland substitutes.
