U21 boss Jim Crawford uncertain about Mipo Odubeko’s intentions

The West Ham youngster pulled out of the Ireland U21 squad due to fatigue

Republic of Ireland U21 manager Jim Crawford:

Ireland’s latest batch of U21s embark on their first international this Friday lunchtime in Wales but, in keeping with recent trends, absentees feature prominently in the conversation.

By the time Jim Crawford brings his squad to a Spanish camp in June as their final warm-up for the opening Euro qualifiers in the Autumn, he hopes the uncertainty over Mipo Odubeko’s intentions is removed.
