Central defender Louise Quinn has emerged as a doubt for the upcoming Republic of Ireland double header friendlies with Wales and Italy – the latter of which was confirmed on Wednesday night.

The 114th time capped senior Ireland international dislocated her shoulder in Birmingham City’s 2-1 win over West Ham United in the English Championship last week.

Her club confirmed that: ‘She is now set for a scan in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury and is being managed conservatively.’

Her international teammate Abby Larkin has made a move to the same division, as she joins Crystal Palace from Glasgow City.
