Drinan Could Win Cap as Irish U21s Face Brazil - Ipswich Town News
Blues striker Aaron Drinan could win his fourth Irish U21s cap this evening when his side take on Brazil in the semi-finals of the Maurice Revello Toulon Tournament.
Drinan, who is on loan back at his former club Waterford, appeared as a late sub in Ireland’s first two games as they topped their group and was unused in their final match.
The 21-year-old, who has scored seven times in the League of Ireland with the season running through the summer, is contracted to Town until the summer of 2021.
