“In Szmodics’s case, it was very unpleasant to know who could tell the Irish media about his invitation, after I inquired with him about whether he would be included in the Hungarian national team,” said Rossi. “ either him or his manager. And for what purpose? To be invited to the Irish national team? We don’t need such a person, even if he is a technically good player.”O’Shea has other attacking options. Like Evan Ferguson.

Another potential name on O’Shea’s list is Nathan Fraser. The 19-year-old recently made his Premier League debut for Wolverhampton Wanderers but he will probably be rerouted to Jim Crawford’s under-21 squad, with similar decisions needed for Andy Moran, Joe Hodge and Sinclair Armstrong. With Jayson Molumby injured, O’Shea will be encouraged by Jason Knight’s consistency in the Bristol City midfield, while Josh Cullen started Burnley’s last three Premier League games. Preston skipper Alan Browne and Southampton’s Will Smallbone are ever presents in the English second tier while Finn Azaz can still declare for Israel or England, but the Middlesbrough man’s nine goals and six assists might earn him a call-up.
