Emily Cassap receives her first senior Northern Ireland call-up for June World Cup qualifiers against Turkey and Switzerland.
While the loss at the Metropolitano halted significant momentum, Hansi Flick remains confident that the team can bounce back to their best. A major part of this optimism stems from the imminent return of several heavyweights to the squad over the coming weeks. As pointed out by Diario AS, the most immediate boost comes from Raphinha, who returned to group training on Friday and is expected to feature against Girona tomorrow. His leadership and aggression were sorely missed in the capital, where the team lacked a figurehead to resist the opponent's onslaught.
