Ireland plays a huge World Cup qualifier against Finland at Tallaght Stadium ( 7.45pm Irish time )
However, the Liverpool defender could make Ireland's trip to Slovakia days later claimed Ireland manager Vera Pauw.
"Niamh won't make tomorrow. We had a scan, and on the basis of the scan we are sitting down tonight with the medical team to see if she can make Slovakia," Pauw said.
"It's not a severe injury but she's not ready. We have a broad squad and I think we've found a very good solution. I'm not going to tell you!"
One of Harriet Scott, Megan Campbell, or Diane Caldwell could replace the 34-year-old tonight.
