He was called into an U19 training camp - https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/u19-...-training-camp - but that's the only time he was involved with the national side. There's a few posts on YBIG saying he's not eligible

Something similar happened with Gardner-Hickman from West Brom also.

Ah, that's disappointing

Interesting bit on Spurs Preseason from The Athletic today...

https://theathletic.com/3414849/2022...s-up-in-korea/

"They may have athletic and footballing talents that we mere mortals could only dream of matching, but there was something extremely relatable about the struggles of the Tottenham Hotspur players in Seoul on Monday night.
Collapsing, some struggling for breath, all absolutely exhausted. This was a brutal pre-season training session played out in close to 30-degree heat with extreme humidity in front of around 6,000 supporters at the imposing Seoul World Cup Stadium. But for all the pageantry around it, there was a very bleep-test-in-school-PE feel to it. That sense of exhaustion, of nothing more to give, of “please make it stop”.
Everyone present could feel it keenly from the stands.
Harry Kane was the first to go, collapsing off the pitch in some discomfort — he even vomited — and requiring a cold towel on his neck. Son Heung-min soon joined him, along with Lucas Moura and Yves Bissouma.
For Kane and Son, given extended leave after playing post-season internationals, the two sessions on Monday were their first proper training sessions of this pre-season. But there was no mercy from Antonio Conte and fitness coach Gian Piero Vetrone — the man whose brutal methods have earned him the nickname “The Marine”.
The players who lasted until the end completed 42 laps of the pitch (some with short breaks in between), taking in a total of around 4,200 meters, all done at pace, in extreme heat and humidity and after an already demanding session. Players like Kane and Son, who have only just come back from internationals, were given a maximum of 30 laps. Watching Troy Parrott, who returned earlier from national team duty, finish the final lap strongly and lead the way had the feel of a middle distance runner “kicking” after the bell had rung for the final lap."

Scott Hogan looks in good form - second in two games: https://www.bcfc.com/news/all/report...ense-1-1-blues

Good to see Andrew Omobamidele back on the pitch, let's hope Idah isn't far behind: https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/k...n-match-report

James Abankwah and Festy Ebosele both play the full second half of Udinese's first pre-season friendly, the latter providing two assists:

**tommy_c12000** · 13/07/2022, 6:44 PM

https://www.udinese.it/news/squad/ra...z-0-11-udinese A full second half for both Ebosele and Abankwah in a 11-0 friendly win. Abankwah involved in one of the goals according to their Twitter page. Promising that there were also a few unused subs, and they still got a run out. Also appears the 3-5-2 formation was used. I had read their new manager did not use wing backs which wasn’t ideal for Ebosele, perhaps he is open to wing backs?

Quiet a bit of Irish involvement in this game with Devoy and Burns playing 90mins, Grant 60mins, and O'Hora came on for the last 30mins. Springett also played 75mins for Norwich.

Killian Phillips coming in for praise in Palace's 2-0 loss to Liverpool. Played 65mins and both Adaramola and O'Brien played the last 25mins.
