Republic of Ireland coach Mick McCarthy insists he cannot argue with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho if he does not want to give playing time to young star Troy Parrott.

Mourinho has come under big pressure to play the 18-year-old in the absence of Spurs’ front-line strikers, with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min out injured.
