Mick McCarthy keen to see Luca Connell in training

Although it appeared initially as if Luca Connell was already in the final squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Denmark and Dublin, Mick McCarthy has clarified that the player’s retention for those games will probably depend on how the Bolton Wanderers rising star performs in Ireland’s training camp in Portugal.

Speaking today at The Campus, the squad’s state of the art base at Quinto Do Lago on the Algarve, McCarthy said that he is keen to take his first close look at the 18-year-old over the coming days.
