Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has called up Josh Honohan for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier with Armenia in Yerevan.<\/p>\n
The Shamrock Rovers defender comes in for Sammie Szmodics, who has had to leave the squad due to injury.<\/p>\n
Honohan is yet to win a senior cap for Ireland but he was in the squad for June’s friendly with Senegal in Dublin. He was close to a move away from the Tallaght club in the transfer window, with Rovers reported to have turned down several bids from Lincoln City.<\/p>\n
Szmodics came off after 78 minutes in last night’s 2-2 draw with Hungary and took to social media this morning to say; “gutted to be leaving camp early fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious. Good luck to the boys in Armenia.”<\/p>\n
The Boys in Green were two down inside 15 minutes last night, but battled to earn a point thanks to Adam Idah’s goal in injury time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson has called up Josh Honohan for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier with Armenia in Yerevan.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6153,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-6152","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
