The striker was placed on standby for the Irish senior squad but misses out through illness and a lack of match sharpness.
EVERTON STRIKER TOM Cannon has not been named in today’s Republic of Ireland U21 squad for a triple-header of friendly games later this month, in spite of Stephen Kenny’s recent indications to the contrary.
Liverpool-born Cannon impressed on loan at Preston in the second half of last season, scoring eight goals in 20 games. He played with the Irish U21s in the March international window earlier this year and was called up to the senior squad for a training camp in Bristol last month. Cannon missed that camp with a bout of tonsillitis, and Stephen Kenny said last week that Cannon was not included in his final squad as he had not trained for four weeks.
Festy Ebosele – who was close to breaking into the senior squad this month – also misses out on a place in the squad with a hamstring injury. Defenders: James Abankwah , Tayo Adaramola , Sam Curtis James Furlong , Anselmo Garcia MacNulty , Sean Grehan , Connor O’Riordan , Sean Roughan
