Women's Nations League: Ellen Dolan handed first call-up for Republic double-header
- Published
Ellen Dolan has been brought into the squad for the Republic's final two games in Group B1
Ellen Dolan has received a first call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad for the Women's Nations League games against Hungary and Northern Ireland.
The 17-year-old Peamount United striker was named Women's Premier Division Player of the Month on Thursday.
Jessie Stapleton and Ruesha Littlejohn return to the 26-strong squad.
The Republic have already secured top spot in the Group B1 ahead of the double-header, having won their opening four matches.
Dolan scored seven goals to help Peamount win the Women's Premier Division title last month.
A number of players were not included in the squad named by interim manager Eileen Gleeson because they are on return to play procedures at their respective clubs following long-term injuries.
Gleeson's side earned promotion to League A in the Nations League by topping their group.
The Republic will take on second-placed Hungary at Tallaght Stadium on 1 December before finishing their group matches against Northern Ireland at Windsor Park four days later.

Goalkeepers: Courtney Brosnan (Everton), Grace Moloney (London City Lionesses), Sophie Whitehouse (Lewes).
