Chloe Mustaki joins us to discuss her battle with cancer, playing semi-pro for Charlton, Ireland squads, balancing working full-time and her determination to come back from her ACL injury and get that elusive first international cap.

In 2014, after captaining the Ireland Under 19s to the semi-finals of the European Championships, Chloe was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. She managed to battle through and get herself health again.

Then, earlier this year, she was playing semi-pro with Charlton, and in line for her first Ireland cap, when she suffered an ACL injury.

Despite the setback, she is determined to come back stronger than ever.
