Stoke star links up with Ireland squad ahead of Luxembourg trip
STOKE CITY midfielder Bosun Lawal has been added to the Ireland squad ahead of Tuesday's game away to Luxembourg.
The 22-year-old joined the Potters from Celtic last summer in a reported £2 million (€2.4 million) deal.

But Lawal missed most of the season due to a medical stress fracture in his lower back.
The setback reduced the midfielder to just seven Championship appearances for a Stoke side that finished just two points above the relegation zone.
Lawal's full debut came on the final day of the season in the 0-0 draw with Derby County.
The former Ireland U21 international previously impressed on loan at League One side Fleetwood Town, scoring six goals in 42 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.
The player's versatility could prove useful for manager Heimir Hallgrímsson, as he has been deployed at centre-back, central midfield and right-back during his young career.
Lawal is part of a 24-player squad that trained this morning before heading to Luxembourg later today.
He has yet to be capped at senior level, but was a late call-up for the squad ahead of the friendly with Hungary last summer.

He said: 'It doesn't matter. That's the plan. read more on football 'I mean, I've been at Leicester since I was eight years old, so I'd never turn my back on the club. It's a club where I've grown, I've loved, I've supported. 'For now, I'm fully focused on Ireland. I'll get away in the summer, get a holiday, refresh, regroup and start preseason for Leicester fighting and get us back into the Premier League, where we deserve to be. 'Recently I have been given the chance to play and I felt like I've grown every week. 'And you only get better playing football when you're playing every week -- that's a fact. Most read in Football "So hopefully I'll keep getting games on my belt. Get back to pre-season, after our rest, and then, yeah, hit the ground running, hopefully. 'There's a lot of senior players at Leicester and I respect that. Being home-grown sometimes it is easy to overlook players like myself but I've never stopped fighting. Former Man Utd boss Louis van Gaal launches scathing attack on old side while heaping praise on bitter rivals I've kept banging down the door to get in the team. 'I got in the team, my first Premier League goal and a few good results. It wasn't enough because we were already relegated but I can personally look back with a lot of pride. 'In the Championship there will still be 25 players in that squad wanting to play so I've to be fit and strong in pre-training. I know what levels I can get to at my best so they can see me at my best.' McAteer was reluctant to be drawn on whether boss The atmosphere around the club turned sour with the pair unable to spark an improvement in results following their arrival in December. He said: 'It's not nice playing in a stadium when there's a lot of animosity and boos. They pay their hard-earned money, watching us weekly home and away, but for myself it's about taking it and learning. 'Whatever happens with the management is up to the club to decide. All we can do as players is back the manager who is in charge. 'The gaffer didn't give up on us even when we were relegated. We all tried every week. As manager, we'll fight for him so let's see what happens in the future. Brian is a top guy. I texted him on Thursday night to say I was starting. He said good luck and he'd be watching. It's great to have a fellow Irishman at the club.' Right now, the manager he is most concerned about impressing is Hallgrímsson having found himself in and out of the squad as his club fortunes fluctuated. But, with Sammie Szmodics, Chiedozie Ogbene and Mark Sykes all absent, he staked his claim. McAteer said: 'I hadn't started before and I got on the scoresheet. You want your name being thrown about in conversations around team selections. I wanted to create a ruffle. Hopefully I've done that. 'They're all top players f but I know the qualities that I have. I need to believe in myself. 'Those are top players and friends of mine so we'll all be pushing each other for a spot. Sometimes in this game, it can be everyone for themselves but I'm sure whatever happens the squad will be strong. 'The manager just said: 'Play your game.' I mean, I know at my best, I can hurt teams, and I tried to do that. I got some good balls down the side. 'Afterwards, in the dressing room, he said I've created a bit of a stir.

CLUB AND COUNTRY On his previous omissions, he said: 'It was explained to me that it's because I'm not playing at my club, that obviously the boys who are playing for their club every weekend, they deserve to play for their country.

"But when I'm not playing, when I am playing, to see how I'm doing and stuff. And that's really good to get from a manager that's obviously behind me wanting to do well. 'When the gaffer told me I was starting I was really, really happy. And I just hoped that I would prove my best to this team, and to get my first start, my first goal gives me massive confidence. 'Hopefully, I can take that in my stride and keep growing.' His goal came after Matt Doherty and Dara O'Shea had gotten in each other's way trying to get on the end of Will Smallbone's corner before the ball was recycled by He said: 'I think it was flicked on by Nathan, I managed to keep myself onside, flicked it towards the goal. To be fair to the 'keeper, he's made a great save, but luckily for me, it's rebounded back into my path. 'I just took the touch and thought: 'Put my foot through the ball.' That's what I did. And, yeah, great to see that net bulge.' McAteer had his back to goal for the rebound meaning he had to swivel before shooting but he shrugged: 'I knew if I got the touch right, I'd be shooting in a nearly empty net. 'There was too much pace on it for the defender to keep out of the goal. So yeah, I'm really happy. 'My Mum and Dad were here so it was good to see them score my first goal on my first start. That's a moment that I'll cherish forever and they'll cherish forever, no doubt about that.'

Kasey McAteer: 'I'd never turn my back on a club where I've grown, loved and supported'
Brian Barry-Murphy was foremost in Kasey McAteer's mind on who to contact when informed of his first Ireland start. Almost two years after Stephen Kenny first spoke about the Leicester City winger pledging his allegiance to Ireland, he finally made the team on Friday. Last September's debut against England was the first of four appearances as a substitute but this was next level. Heimir Hallgrimsson's news to the 23-year-old on the eve of facing Senegal had to be shared with a select few. Up first were his proud parents, regular attendees at club and country games, and Corkman Barry-Murphy was next on the list. He's coached McAteer since being handpicked by Foxes manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy to join him when taking over the strugglers at Christmas. The son of Leeside legend Jimmy has carved out his reputation as a stellar tutor, managing at Rochdale before having the privilege of leading Manchester City's development squad. Read More Stoke's Bosun Lawal called up to Ireland squad for Luxembourg friendly Avoiding the drop proved too much a task for Leicester but on a personal level McAteer finished the season strongly, starting six of the last eight games. 'Brian is a top guy,' he said about his mentor. 'I texted him last night to say I was starting. He said good luck and he'd be watching. It's great to have a fellow Irishman at the club.' It remains to be seen whether either will start the next Leicester chapter in the Championship. Foxes chiefs have yet to decide if they're sticking or twisting on the managerial front. Newly-promoted Sunderland were already admirers of McAteer before he crowned his first international start with his first goal but he's intent on staying loyal. 'I want to play for the club - I've been since I was eight years old,' he said about his affinity to City. 'The plan is to stay. I'd never turn my back on a club where I've grown, loved and supported. 'I want to go into pre-season for Leicester to start fighting for us to get back to the Premier League where we deserve to be. 'What I can say is I'm fully dedicated to Leicester and always will be while I'm there.' Even he seemed unsure about who'd he be reporting to when he returns from his summer break. 'Whatever happens with the management is up to the club to decide,' he said, rather diplomatically. 'All we can do as players is back the manager who is in charge. I've said before about the gaffer that he didn't give up on us even when we were relegated. We all tried every week. As manager, we'll fight for him so let's see what happens in the future.' Regardless of whether Van Nistelrooy and Barry-Murphy are retained, he's thankful for the benefits accrued from his first real string of top-flight games. 'There's a lot of senior players at Leicester and I respect that,' he outlined about the difficulty of snaffling a spot. 'Being home-grown, sometimes it easy to overlook players like myself but I never stopped fighting. I've kept banging down the door to get in the team. 'I got in the team, got my first Premier League goal (against Ipswich Town) and a few good results. It wasn't enough because we were already relegated but I can personally look back with a lot of pride.' Next year marks a decade since Leicester shocked the world by usurping the established order to win the Premier League but the atmosphere has changed with fans turning on the Thai owners. He said about the latter stages of the season: 'It's not nice playing in a stadium when there's a lot of animosity and boos. Leicester fans paid their hard-earned money, watching us weekly home and away, but for myself it's about taking it and learning. 'I didn't play every game in the Premier League so I don't take it as personal.' McAteer augmented that flourish with a splash on the international circuit. Timing is everything and producing the man-of-the-match performance in the penultimate friendly ahead of the World Cup qualifiers heightens his profile. The Icelander does have Mikey Johnston and the injured Chiedozie Ogbene to return for the opening double-header at home to Hungary and Armenia away but they won't be around either for Tuesday's visit to Luxembourg. 'The manager said in the dressing room afterwards that I've created a bit of a stir,' he revealed about the impact of schooling the slick Senegalese for large spells. 'That's what I wanted coming in. You want your name being thrown about in conversations around team selections – it was about creating a ruffle. 'Before the World Cup qualifiers, Luxembourg are up first and we won't take them lightly. 'There's quality players competing for the position but I know the qualities that I have too. I need to believe in myself and whatever will be, will be. 'Sometimes in this game, it can be everyone for themselves but I'm sure whatever happens the squad will be strong.'

Jannik Sinner in sportsmanship fail as French Open final gesture to Carlos Alcaraz backfires
JANNIK SINNER paid for sportingly but WRONGLY awarding Carlos Alcaraz a point in their sensational French Open final. Poland's World No.1 incorrectly told the umpire an Alcaraz forehand was in - only for replays to show it went LONG. 2 The umpire responded gratefully to Jannick Sinner's intervention The Spaniard earlier saved THREE Championship points in that fourth set. And Unlike the three other Grand Slam tournaments, Roland Garros does NOT use HawkEye technology to check line calls.

READ MORE TENNIS NEWS So although fans praised The tight line call came when Alacaraz served to go 6-5 up in the fourth. Line judges called it out and the chair umpire got down from her seat to examine the mark. But as she strode quickly across the court, Sinner signalled he thought the ball was good.

And a fourth wrote: "That is why they are 2 favourites." But another viewer moaned: "So many missed called because they refuse to use technology. Joke of a tourny ." And a similar thinker said: "Honestly thought it looked clearly out at full speed. A number of very questionable calls at the end of that set…" Ninety minutes after the line shout, Alcaraz clinched a glorious victory from two sets down via a dominant 10-2 Championship tie-break in the fifth.
