Blackburn Rovers striker Sammie Szmodics is targeting a Republic of Ireland debut in upcoming friendlies against Belgium and Switzerland.
Szmodics received a first call-up in 2021 but pulled out with a shoulder problem, then withdrew due to personal reasons after being included in the squad for the Euro qualifiers against Greece and Gibraltar in October. "When I got the phone call from John , it was a no-brainer for me. I am excited to hopefully get it on the weekend."
Colchester-born Szmodics is also qualified to represent Hungary but he dismissed speculation of a switch of allegiance.
