Dundalk might have been on the losing end of Sunday’s Extra.ie FAI Cup final but one of their stars could be set for international duty.

Shamrock Rovers‘ midfielder Jack Byrne is presently the only current Republic of Ireland international in domestic Irish football, but he could soon have some company.

After a fine season that saw him win the league and EA Sports Cup, it’s being reported that Sean Gannon is in line for his first call-up.

According to Tuesday’s Irish Daily Star, the right-back is on standby for a call depending on the fitness of Wolves defender Matt Doherty.

The 27-year-old had to be taken off during his side’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday due to a knee injury.

On top of that, international captain Seamus Coleman is already ruled out for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifier with Denmark due to a suspension, and therefore has been excluded from the preliminary squad.

Mick McCarthy’s attentions, therefore, have reportedly switched to Gannon to come in for the Euro 2020 qualifier as well as the friendly with New Zealand in Dublin.

The full-back has been nominated for the PFAI Player of the Year award after another excellent season with the Lilywhites, which was his sixth since joining the club in 2014.

Fulham’s Cyrus Christie has already been named in the squad and is seen as the potential starter for the Denmark clash if Doherty is not available.

In the meantime for Gannon, his side have the inaugural two-legged Unite the Union Champions Cup date with Linfield, the first of which is this Friday.
