MU18 | O'Brien names squad for Sweden friendlies

Republic of Ireland Men's Under-18s Head Coach Colin O'Brien has named a 22-man squad for a friendly double-header against Sweden in Marbella this week.

Ireland are in southern Spain for two games against the Swedes as O'Brien assesses options available to him and follows two friendlies for his MU18 side in Hungary in August.

Those games ended with Ireland winning the first game 2-0 and drawing the second 2-2.

O'Brien will be looking for an equally challenging test with games against Sweden on Thursday, November 11 and Sunday, November 14.
