The FAI is relying on the UK government granting an exemption to footballers if they’re to avoid sending a home-based squad to Montenegro for the upcoming U21 European qualifiers.

Jim Crawford has today named two squads, the first for the visit of Luxembourg to Tallaght next Friday and the second on the basis that UK-players may have to quarantine upon their return from Podgorica following the second part of the double-header on October 12.
