Katie McCabe update as scan results imminent

Ireland captain Katie McCabe could learn the nature and extent of her injury as early as Friday morning.

The Dubliner has given Ireland boss Vera Pauw - who is in Dublin to name her squad for the friendly double-header away to the USA - a huge World Cup scare.

She had to be carried off late in Arsenal’s Champions League quarter-final win over Bayern Munich on Wednesday night after picking up a nasty looking foot injury.

McCabe fell to the turf immediately, clutching her left boot, after connecting with the studs of an opponent as she cleared the ball.

The 27-year-old was spotted afterwards on crutches and in a protective boot.

The results of a scan carried out yesterday are expected today - with both the Ireland and Arsenal camp hoping to rule out a metatarsal break.
