David Wilson

We don't know the reasons for that.

You would have to assume it is injury related.

And then unfortunately, Strasbourg defender Andrew Omobamadele will also miss out.

on this window through injury so again an international window comes around and poor old Andrew picks up yet another injury as it seemed as though he might have been just coming off the back of those layoffs that he had been suffering disappointing for him before we go through the rest

So that's five withdrawals there.

Brown, Gilbert, Omavamedele, Azaz and Manning.

And then for the Qatar game, the following players have been called up.

So Dar O'Shea, obviously, was not named in the squad initially for whatever reason, but he will be there.

And Jack Moylan as well, after his stellar performance against Grenada.

They will both be available for the Qatar game, as well as Cuivine Kelleher, which we already knew, I believe, he was only going to be there for the Qatar game and not heading to Montreal.

And then for Canada only, Charlton midfielder Conor Coventry and Bohemians midfielder

Dawson Devoy will link up with the squad later this week specifically for the trip to Canada and then for both fixtures two further call-ups Jamie McGrath of Hibernian and Cillian Phillips of St Mirren so they'll be there for the duration of the window and then as well as that in addition to it Hibernian striker Owen Elding

will also remain with the squad for training purposes throughout the window.

Elding will integrate with the senior environment while the final stages, how many times have we heard that, of his citizenship process is completed.

Now, before we dive into anything else, I do want to ask you a question.

so we've seen two midfielders Jim McGrath probably more of an attacker than a midfielder but nonetheless St Mirren's Cillian Phillips has been called up now a St Mirren teammate of Cillian Phillips this season is Jacob Devaney and we've spoken about Jacob Devaney before obviously an underage captain of Manchester United before he went out on loan for a taste of senior football with St Mirren he's been playing pretty well form for St Mirren hasn't been that great but he'll be heading back to Manchester United obviously now are you surprised not to see him included especially with the nature of the players dropping out and us calling up some others?

Yeah, and obviously just on... I would agree with Cillian Phillips' point for sure.

I just think on the Jacob Devaney thing, I think these are the squads where you do bring these type of guys in.

And we have done it.

We have brought a couple of guys in of that ilk.
