Jim Crawford has added Killian Phillips and Darragh Burns to his Ireland Under-21 squad for next Tuesday’s vital European qualifier in Sweden.

Both players were involved in Tuesday’s Under-20 friendly against an Ireland amateur selection but had been informed beforehand of their requirement to remain in camp when the older group assemble today.
