The Ballinasloe player missed the defeat to Canada due to injury.

Republic of Ireland manager Vera Pauw has made two changes to her team for this morning's World Cup clash with Nigeria.

Ballinasloe's Heather Payne returns to the starting line-up, while Lily Agg is also included.

Payne was due to start the previous match against Canada but was forced out at the last minute due to injury. 

Aine O'Gorman and Lucy Quinn will start the game on the bench.

Ireland are unable to qualify from Group B, with Nigeria leading the standings. 

Kick off is at 11am, with the other game in the group between Australia and Canada underway at the same time.
