Gleeson outlines jetlag-busting plan to help Katie McCabe recover from Oz trip

Ireland manager Eileen Gleeson has recruited sleep experts to help Katie McCabe recover from her post-season trip to Australia in time for next week’s Nations League clash with Sweden.

“She’ll come in a little bit later,” confirmed Gleeson. “We’ll allow her to have rest post the flight. She flies back into London Sunday so probably won’t join us until Tuesday. “We planned for it. We’ve all spoken about the timing of it before. She’s there now but she’ll be back and joining us in the camp.

Asked if the loading of fixtures was something that needed to be addressed, Gleeson replied: “It’s a talking point. Player scheduling, game scheduling is a huge talking point - FifPro, Uefa, Fifa. Calendar clashes, calendar loading. All of those topics are always being discussed.“For us, we have to keep the focus on the game and we have to manage the situation and make sure that we can have Katie well rested, well recovered and have her ready for us for the Aviva.
