Kasey McAteer Called Up for Ireland Squad

Kasey McAteer, a 22-year-old winger from Leicester City, has received his first call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against England and Greece. The inclusion comes after McAteer completed his FIFA international clearance and follows a successful season where he scored six goals, aiding Leicester's promotion to the Premier League. New head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad also features fit-again players like captain Seamus Coleman and Evan Ferguson, while long-term absentees such as goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu and midfielder Josh Cullen miss out due to injuries. The matches are scheduled for September 7 and September 10 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. McAteer, of Irish descent and raised in Northampton, has expressed his enthusiasm for playing at the highest level and contributing to his national team.
