Ireland goalkeeper Ayeisha McFerran is ruled out of the forthcoming Hockey World Cup due to injury, according to both Yahoo Sports and BBC Sport. The reports state that the injury prevents her from taking part in the tournament, which is set to begin later this year. Neither outlet provides additional specifics about the nature of the injury, the timeline for her return, or the decision-making process behind the withdrawal. Both sources present the same core information: McFerran, a key member of Ireland’s goalkeeping unit, will not be available for the World Cup. The coverage also indicates that the withdrawal is confirmed rather than speculative, implying the team has adjusted its plans accordingly. With McFerran out, Ireland will need to rely on other goalkeepers for the tournament. The reports do not mention her replacement or any changes to Ireland’s squad beyond her absence from World Cup participation.
