TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STRIKER Troy Parrott has been ruled out of Ireland’s 2021 U21 European Championship qualifier against Luxembourg through injury.
The 17-year-old, who was named FAI U16 Player of the Year on Sunday, was called up to Stephen Kenny’s side for the first time this week, but has had to withdraw as he continues his comeback from toe surgery.
