Robbie Brady called up to Ireland squad for WC qualifiers

The Manchester United midfielder replaces Kevin Doyle, who will definitely miss games against Germany and the Faroe Islands.

ROBBIE BRADY HAS been called up to the Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Germany and the Faroe Islands.

Kevin Doyle’s thigh injury, sustained during training with Wolves, will keep him out of both matches and Manchester United midfielder Brady follows David Meyler in joining the squad.

Brady made a fine impression on his international debut against Oman in an international friendly last month, setting up the opener for Shane Long before smashing home a volley to make it 2-0 in the first half.

The 20-year-old recently stated his ambition to get another loan move away from Old Trafford, in order to get some more valuable first team experience, after a successful period with Hull City last season.

“I want to stay playing [for Ireland]. I don’t want to come in and doss about so I need to be playing as many club games as I can,” Brady said.

“If that means I need to take a loan move, I will. We’ll see what happens. I’d just like to play as much football as I can and hopefully I can push on and keep playing (for the national side).”

‘The players know what they went through last year. We’re one game from a wonderful occasion’ – Mathews >

    Obviously trap wnt do it but I would love to see McClean & Brady start on da wings, they would give any full backs in Europe a run for their money!!!

    A tad over the top there, at 20 years old Brady has played 4 minutes of top flight football in his career.

    He’s not going to be terrorising fullbacks across europe now.

    He’s got potential, and hopefully he can get himself out of Utd as he’s never getting ahead of Nani, Valencia, Young or Giggs anytime soon, a move to any prem club where he gets game time is essential IMO.

    I have seen more potential in Brady in 1 game than McGeady in 55 games, for an attacking winger to score 2 goals in 55 internationals is a disgrace at this level!!!
