With Blackburn Rovers' Paul Forsyth having picked up an ankle injury at the weekend, Irish under-16 manager Brian Kerr has called up Paul Loughlin of Wolverhampton Rovers for tomorrow night's game against Scotland in Richmond Park.
It will be Kerr's first time in control of a team at Richmond Park since leaving St Patrick's Athletic, and he expressed his satisfaction with the squad's preparations yesterday.
Kerr is preparing the under-16s for next month's UEFA tournament qualifier in Northern Ireland.
