Noe Baba of Birmingham City and formerly Castlebar Celtic has been named on the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad to take on the Czech Republic and Slovakia in two friendly games in Spain.

Ireland will take part in a 5-day training camp in Spain as part of their preparation for the 2019 UEFA U-21 European Championship qualifying campaign.

Manager Noel King says the camp is an opportunity to get to know the players.

The friendly games against Czech Republic and Slovakia are scheduled for this Saturday and next Tuesday respectively.
