NEWCASTLE UNITED MIDFIELDER Rory Finneran could make his senior Ireland debut later this month after earning a late call-up to Heimir Hallgrímsson’s squad.

The English-born teenager, whose grandparents are from Sligo, has been capped by Ireland across the underage grades, captaining the country at last year’s U17 World Cup and also featuring for Tom Mohan’s U19s.
Hallgrímsson will have to plan without both Cardiff City defender Joel Bagan and Ipswich Town winger Kasey McAteer, who have both been ruled out through injury.
Ireland play Grenada – ranked 163rd in the world – in Murcia on Saturday 16 May [kick-off 5pm Irish time] before further end-of-season friendlies against Qatar in Dublin on 28 May and Canada in Montreal on 5 June.
