Dundee United defender Will Ferry has been called into the Republic of Ireland squad ahead of Saturday’s friendly against Grenada in Spain (kick-off 5pm Irish time).
The 25-year-old received permission from his club to link up with Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side in Murcia and is due to take part in a squad training session on Thursday.
Ireland will play Grenada at the Estadio Nueva Condomina on Saturday before hosting Qatar in a second international friendly at the Aviva Stadium on Thursday, May 28th (kick-off 7.45pm) and then travelling to Montreal to face Canada on June 6th.
As part of the training camp, which would have served as World Cup warm-up had Ireland qualified, the squad also played Real Murcia B on Tuesday, winning 2-0.
