Manager Vera Pauw had been uncertain about the extent of the injury

Katie McCabe has confirmed that she expects to be fully fit for the start of the FIFA Women's World Cup campaign, with injury fears around the Republic of Ireland captain allayed.

The Arsenal player had emerged as a fitness concern after being withdrawn on the half-hour mark during the Girls in Green's 3-0 defeat to France at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday, having rolled her ankle in the 15th minute.

Manager Vera Pauw had been uncertain about the extent of the injury in the immediate aftermath of the match but McCabe confirmed that there was no major damage done and that her availability for the World Cup is not in question.

Before the squad flew to Australia, McCabe revealed she’s had a scan and hopes to resume training next week.
