Northern Ireland senior women take on Belarus in a crucial UEFA Women's Euro qualifier in Minsk on Tuesday (4pm kick-off).

A win for Kenny Shiels's side could put them within three points of Group C's second-placed team Wales - and crucially with a game in hand.

Captained by Marissa Callaghan, the players have their sights firmly set on securing a play-off spot for the Euros - which are set to be staged in England in 2022.

Last time out Northern Ireland cruised to a 6-0 success over the Faroe Islands in Torshavn but Belarus will prove much sterner opposition particularly in their own back yard. 

Derry City say Wednesday evening's game at Shamrock Rovers is off after a Candystripes player and member of backroom staff tested positive for Covid-19.

However, it's not been confirmed by the league which has issued a statement saying officials are waiting on further information before postponing the fixture.
