Crunch time looms for Ireland’s U21s, whose manager Jim Crawford has named a 25-man squad for their final three European qualifiers against Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro and Italy.

Currently occupying second place for next year’s finals, six points from their opening pair of matches – both at Tallaght Stadium – will seal a two-legged playoff in September.
