Kenny 'delighted' for Parrott on senior call-up as he names U21 squad

Stephen Kenny has said that he is delighted for Troy Parrott that the 17-year-old Spurs player has received his first senior Ireland call-up even though it means the U21 manager will be without his star striker for next Thursday’s Euro 2021 qualifier away to Armenia.

Kenny added that, at present, there was no arrangement whereby, following next week’s senior friendly against New Zealand, Parrott might be able to rejoin the u21s ahead of their qualifier against Sweden in Tallaght.
