Louise Quinn a major doubt for Ireland after dislocating shoulder
REPUBLIC OF IRELAND centurion Louise Quinn has emerged as a major doubt for next month’s international friendly double-header against Italy and Wales — and beyond.
Birmingham City confirmed that Quinn dislocated her shoulder in a recent club match.
A statement from the Championship outfit reads: “Louise dislocated her shoulder in the 2-1 win against West Ham United last Wednesday night.
“She is now set for a scan in the coming days to determine the extent of the injury and is being managed conservatively.”
Quinn is a key player for Eileen Gleeson’s Ireland. The centre-half has earned 113 caps since making her debut in 2008.
The Girls In Green open 2024 with a friendly away to Italy on Friday, 23 February. They face Wales at Tallaght Stadium the following Tuesday in Gleeson’s first two games in charge on a permanent basis.
The draw for Euro 2025 qualifying will take place on Tuesday, 5 March, with Ireland in action in League A from April.
Quinn’s Birmingham City are also pushing for promotion to the Women’s Super League.
Meanwhile, former youth International Kate Mooney has joined Hearts Women on an 18-month deal after leaving Lewes FC.
Mooney has had plenty of moves, starting with Shelbourne in 2016 and then switching to DLR Waves. There was a spell at Peamount United after that, scoring ten times in 14 matches before going to Lewes.
