Liverpool striker Leanne Kiernan lifts lid on World Cup 'dream come true' after injury return

Liverpool forward Leanne Kiernan has admitted it would be a "dream come true" to represent the Republic of Ireland at this summer's Women's World Cup.

Kiernan arrived at Prenton Park from West Ham United in June 2021 and scored 14 goals to help the Reds win promotion back to the Women's Super League. However, the 24-year-old missed the majority of the 2022/23 campaign after suffering an ankle injury in Liverpool's surprise opening day victory over Chelsea.

She made her long-awaited Liverpool return against Aston Villa in May and was included in Vera Pauw's preliminary World Cup squad earlier this month, alongside Liverpool captain Niamh Fahey.
