Casement Set Win First Full Cap - Ipswich Town News
Town defender Chris Casement has been named in Northern Ireland's starting line-up for their friendly with Italy in Pisa on Saturday (BBC2 NI, Sky channel 992, 7.30pm). The 21-year-old will be making his full international debut.
Casement, who is one of four uncapped players in Nigel Worthington's very inexperienced side, was recently told he would not be offered a new deal by the Blues when his current contract is up at the end of the season.
The Belfast-born right-back or centre-half spent time on loan at Wycombe Wanderers last season and is likely to join the Chairboys on a permanent basis during the close season.
Northern Ireland: Tuffey (Partick Thistle), Johnson (Birmingham City), Casement (Ipswich Town), Coates (Crusaders), McGivern (Manchester City), Little (Rangers), O'Connor (unattached), C Evans (Manchester Utd), McCann (Scunthorpe Utd), Carson (Coleraine), Healy (Sunderland).
