SAMMIE SZMODICS HAS opened up about the frustrations that have surrounded his Republic of Ireland call-up, saying that passport complications and squad omissions have delayed his breakthrough.
The call-up follows a rich run of form for Szmodics who is the top-scorer in the Championship after scoring 27 goals for Blackburn this season. He was first recruited by Stephen Kenny and was named in multiple Ireland squads, but is yet to be capped. There were also reports that Hungary were considering Szmodics on account of his eligibility through his grandfather.
“You do take it personally because 20 people get picked and I didn’t despite being on the top of the game in the last international call-up. I didn’t get anything.”
