Dobra Set to Win Cap - Ipswich Town News

Blues forward Armando Dobra will win his fourth Albania U21 cap this evening when his side faces Andorra away in a European Championships qualifier this afternoon.

The 20-year-old is set to start for the Albanians as they look to get their qualification campaign off to a winning start.

The youngsters have a friendly in Bulgaria on Tuesday but Dobra may be rested for that game with the Blues set to return for pre-season training on June 25th.

Like most of the rest of the current first-team squad, Dobra has been told he can leave this summer should Town receive an acceptable offer.

However, the London-born youngster said on Saturday that he is determined to get himself into the Town side in 2021/22: "My goal is to play with the first team in Ipswich.”

Elsewhere, former Blues loan striker Troy Parrott scored twice as the Republic of Ireland beat Andorra 4-1 away in a friendly last night.

The last player to net twice in the same game for Ireland was ex-Blues frontman Daryl Murphy in a 2-0 home victory over Moldova in 2017.
