McCarthy’s attacking plans for Doherty and Brady

After his first day back on the training pitch as Ireland manager, Mick McCarthy has given a strong hint Matt Doherty will feature in an attacking right-flank role against Gibraltar.

Injuries to Callum O’Dowda, Alan Browne, and Ronan Curtis have all to be factored in to the manager’s planning and, with Seamus Coleman expected to start at right-full in a back four, the Wolves wing-back is very much in McCarthy’s thoughts for a berth on the right side of midfield.
