THE GREEN SCENE: ‘It’s Grenada, I could play against them!’ | Moylan, Umeh, and the possible return of... Aaron Connolly?

The lads then look ahead to who might be involved in Heimir Hallgrimsson’s Ireland squad for Grenada and the training camp in Spain. Ben, Matthew and David go through the players who they would like to see involved and perhaps some of the more unexpected shouts as the camp falls outside an official FIFA window.
