Stephen Kenny today named his squad for next week’s daunting double-header of Euro qualifiers.
Gavin Cooney reports from the Aviva Stadium TIME TO SHARPEN minds, then. This day week Ireland will be in Paris to take on France in Euro 2024 qualifying, before the Netherlands come to Dublin on Sunday in what is Ireland’s toughest double-header of qualifiers since the Portugal/Dutch series more than 20 years ago.
“To me it’s a yellow card, looking at the video evidence he has gone over and nudged him with his shoulder, the player has hit the deck like he absolutely collapsed”, said Kenny about Doherty’s sending off in Athens. “Other players have actually grabbed Matt, he could have collapsed on the deck and the Greek player would have been sent off. But he didn’t do that. There was no need for the player to hit the deck, number one.
The forward line is depleted too. Callum Robinson and Michael Obafemi are injured, and Troy Parrott has just recovered from a groin operation and wasn’t deemed ready to be included, and so returning from the margins is Aaron Connolly, who has scored three times from the substitute’s bench for Hull City this season. Connolly won’t start against France or the Netherlands, but he may be a wildcard from the bench.
