King calls up McCarthy for Ireland’s Cyprus test
The 20-year-old made a scoring return after a three-month injury lay-off in the Latics’ 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa on Tuesday night but was not included in Giovanni Trapattoni’s squad for the senior side’s Nations Cup clash against Wales on February 8.
American-born striker Conor Doyle is included in an Irish panel for the first time after impressing for Derby County this season, while King also named Cypriot-based duo Mikey Collins and Robbie Gibbons in his squad.
