Six Leicester City Women players played their final game of the international break as they look ahead to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

The players called up were Heather Payne, Jess Ziu and Jessie Stapleton for Republic of Ireland, Alisha Lehmann for the Switzerland squad and Paulina Nystrom for Finland.

Poppy Pritchard was also called up for England Under-23s, but she was an unused substitute in their loss to Norway.

The Republic of Ireland came out victorious with an 8-0 victory away to Kazakhstan on Friday night, before securing another win in the reverse leg, 4-0.
