Republic of Ireland under-21s manager Jim Crawford has named his squad for the European Championship qualifiers against Luxembourg and Montenegro.
Crawford has named a squad of 24 players for the game against Luxembourg in Tallaght on October 8th but the Ireland boss has an extended squad on standby for the trip to Montenegro on October 12th.
Montenegro is currently on the UK and German red list so Crawford may opt to bring a squad of home-based players only due to current Covid-19 travel restrictions. Montenegro is currently not on Ireland’s red list.
Under the current guidelines in Britain and Germany, any UK or German-based Ireland Under-21 player would be forced to undergo a period in quarantine before returning to their clubs if they travel to Montenegro for the second game of this international window.
FIFA, the Premier League and the English Football League have appealed to the UK Government to relax these rules for professional footballers on international duty this month and the FAI is working closely with their colleagues at The FA on this developing story.
As the FAI awaits a possible ruling in the UK, the extended squad for Montenegro includes 13 home-based players called up for the first time.
Ireland have four points from their opening two games in Group F following a 2-0 win away to Bosnia Herzegovina and 1-1 draw in Luxembourg last month.
