England v Republic of Ireland: All you need to know

admin admin | 07-12 16:15

"Obviously we’ve had to deal with the documentary dropping in on the day we come into camp and it’s super important those players’ messages are heard and the women in it we support," Gleeson said.

"The timing offers another challenge for us coming into the camp, so what we have to do is close off the noise because we can lose focus if we listen to all the noise.

"We tried to keep it remaining focussed solely on the games coming."

Sarina Wiegman's England side will be cheered on by a 27,000 sellout crowd, knowing that they can’t afford a slip-up ahead of their final group game against Sweden in Gothenburg on Tuesday with just two teams assured automatic qualification from the group.

England welcome back Chelsea defender Niamh Charles and Paris St-Germain goalkeeper Mary Earps from injury at Carrow Road.

Last time out, England secured a 2-1 win against a France side who have already assured themselves of automatic qualification.

Despite being overwhelming favourites, Wiegman is taking nothing for granted against Ireland.

"It’s another important game in our journey to qualify in this period for the Euros," she told BBC Sport.

"We want to improve our game. All of the teams in this competition have been really challenging. We expect them to be really tough again.

"Of course, we approach every game to win, so that won’t be any different. We want to control the game a little more than we did the last time we played against them."
