Rachel Furness Returns to Boost Northern Ireland's Football Squad

The return of Rachel Furness brings excitement to Northern Ireland's squad for the Nations League game.

Northern Ireland boss Tanya Oxtoby is delighted with the comeback of record goalscorer Rachel Furness. Furness, a 36-year-old midfielder from Newcastle United, is added to the squad for the Nations League match against Romania. Oxtoby believes her presence will add enthusiasm and belief to the young team. Megan Bell is ruled out due to illness, and defender Rachel Dugdale has also withdrawn. Northern Ireland are concentrating on a strong finish with their promotion hopes fading. The team needs to improve their performance in both boxes to secure a win.
