Maguire after signing for Dundalk at the end of July
Dundalk striker Sean Maguire is set to miss the club’s crunch clash away to Shamrock Rovers on Friday October 9th after being named in Noel King’s Irish U-21 squad today.
The former West Ham star, who bagged his first goal for the club against Sligo Rovers earlier this month, was named in the provisional 22 man squad for the U-21 UEFA Euro 2017 qualifier at home to Lithuania and away to Italy next month.
After two matches Ireland are joint top of Group 2 following back-to-back wins over Andorra and will host Lithuania in the RSC in Waterford on the same day as the Rovers game in Tallaght, albeit at the earlier time of 5.45pm.
The squad will then travel to Vicenza to take on Italy on Tuesday October 13th which means Maguire should be back at Oriel Park for Dundalk’s clash with Galway Utd three days later.
