Phillips called up to Republic of Ireland squad
St. Mirren midfielder Killian Phillips is called up to the Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming Nations League quadruple-header.
Phillips has earned a place in the Republic of Ireland national team for their upcoming Nations League matches. The 24-year-old St. Mirren midfielder was added to the squad in Dublin ahead of their away game against Kosovo. Killian Phillips has been substituted for injured Hibernian players Jamie McGrath and Queens Park Rangers' Harvey Vale, who will miss the four international games.
Ireland captain Nathan Collins will also be absent from the team. The midfielder, who has previously joined St Mirren from Crystal Palace following a loan spell, has already earned four caps for the Republic of Ireland. Following Kosovo, the team will face Israel twice and Austria at home in Group B3. Freshman Liam Kitching from Sheffield United has been included in the initial squad, while uncapped defender Joel Bagan from Cardiff City and Owen Elding of Hibernian are hopeful for their first caps. However, Republic of Ireland coach Coleman has decided not to include himself in the squad.
