From unwelcome flashbacks last weekend to a hopeful flash forward to the summer - Savannah McCarthy wants to make up for lost time and be a part of Ireland's World Cup adventure.
McCarthy didn't just injure her ACL 13 months ago, but also her LCL and MCL, in a collision with a Galway team-mate at Eamonn Deacy Park.
Coincidentally the 26-year-old made her comeback off the bench at the same venue last Saturday in her debut for new club Shamrock Rovers in a 1-1 draw.
