Heather Payne was sporting heavy strapping on her right upper leg at training, and didn't partake fully.
Emma Duffy Reports from Perth Rectangular Stadium VERA PAUW HAS expressed “concern” over Louise Quinn’s fitness for tomorrow’s crucial World Cup clash against Canada as contradictory statements emerged from the Irish camp in Perth today.
She appeared fit in the opening exchanges which Irish media witnessed; taking part in the full warm-up, including turning drills and kicking a ball. She looked to be preparing for a full match as the media departed, though did not partake in an earlier small-sided, one-touch game. The rest of the squad was fully-fit at the time of the press conference, Pauw told The 42, with US-born striker Kyra Carusa appearing alongside the Ireland manager.“It’s an injury that is not very straightforward. It’s just really relying on how she reacts on the next training session. I’m not hiding anything, I’m always open.”She confirmed that she has a contingency plan in place should the Wicklow veteran prove unavailable.
“That is very cliché but very much true. So if you play a game like this against the Olympic champion, I have to stay realistic and it’s clear that we want to go through this group then we need a result. That’s clear. If we win, we have it in our own hands… if we have a draw, then we’re dependent on other results.”
Ireland out for pitch familiarisation at a rainy Perth Rectangular Stadium 🇮🇪 pic.twitter.com/jCYxiHQLKSBoth Pauw and Carusa said that the travel and entering another timezone has not fazed Ireland, and they are prepared for wet weather in Perth. They later returned to the Rectangular — or HBF Park, home of Perth Glory — for pitch familiarisation. The Canadians did not partake earlier, with covers on the pitch, presumably due to rain.
