O’Neill won’t force Rice hand on England decision

In calling up Declan Rice to his squad for this month’s training camp and friendly in Turkey, Martin O’Neill has stressed that the highly-rated young West Ham defender, who is still eligible to play senior football for both Ireland and England, will not come under any pressure to decide his international future.

“We brought him in last year down in Fota Island for a number of days, he’s a genuinely good kid, but he has got choices to make,” said O’Neill.

“We would love to have him but this is not going to disrupt him in that sense and he would be aware of that.
