O’Neill calls on Doyle to revitalise career

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY:

With the Republic of Ireland boss making seven changes to his starting line-up from the stalemate against Italy in London the week before, this 1-1 draw against the Central Americans just outside Philadelphia was another valuable exercise for the new manager.

But particular attention was paid to Doyle who showed O’Neill and his coaching staff both sides of his game, reminding everybody what brought him to the Premier League with Reading in the first place.
