First call-up for Millenic Alli as Portsmouth winger joins Ireland squad

Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side face North Macedonia in a friendly on Tuesday after their World Cup play-off heartbreak.

PORTSMOUTH WINGER MILLENIC Alli has received his first Ireland senior call-up ahead of Tuesday’s international friendly against North Macedonia at Aviva Stadium.

The 26-year-old, who is on loan at Portsmouth from Luton Town, has impressed in the Championship this season and now gets an opportunity at international level.

Dublin-born Alli linked up with Heimir Hallgrímsson’s squad this morning as they trained in Dublin. 

Jack Taylor remains a doubt for the North Macedonia fixture, having travelled home for family reasons following Thursday’s World Cup play-off defeat to Czechia. Sammie Szmodics has been ruled out following his injury in Prague.

Liam Scales, meanwhile, is due to return from suspension.

Kick-off on Tuesday is 7.45pm, with the game live on RTE 2.
