Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson admits he’d prefer for his frontliners to be active as Caoimhin Kelleher and Evan Ferguson are shunted to the margins.

Kelleher had racked up 12 appearances for Premier League leaders Liverpool until Alisson returned from injury to take over in goal last week. The Corkman has spoken of his desire to leave Anfield for regular gametime.
