Manager Vera Pauw has confirmed a 30-player squad for what is their penultimate game in Group I away to Ukraine on October 23rd when they know that a point would guarantee a play-off slot for next summer’s Euro 2022. The squad will be trimmed within a fortnight, although the nine players featured from the Women’s National League will hearten a minority in the domestic game who have quibbled at the Dutch coach’s non-attendance at games. Group leaders Germany have already confirmed their superiority in the pool after beating Ireland 3-0 last month and they will visit Dublin on December 1 to conclude their qualification campaign. Ireland will hope by then theirs is still ongoing. There are no new additions to the squad that was announced for last month's loss which means Alli Murphy and Ellen Molloy retain their berths for now.
