Caoimhin Kelleher has been confirmed as Ireland’s starting goalkeeper in tomorrow’s friendly with Belgium and Tuesday’s clash with Lithuania.
The Liverpool ace, 23, steps up after regular No 1 Gavin Bazunu, 20, was forced to withdraw from the squad yesterday because of illness.
Kelleher, who recently clinched Carabao Cup glory for Liverpool in a dramatic shootout, has had to be patient with just two caps to date.
