Town midfielder Kevin Bru has been named in the Mauritius squad for their friendlies with Burundi and Togo later this month.

The Mauritians face Burundi on Wednesday 25th March and the Togolese three days later. He'll join up with the squad following Town's game at Watford.

Paris-born Bru, who qualifies for Mauritius via his parents, has previously won two full caps having played for France at U18 and U19 levels.

It’s the first time he has been called up since he joined the Blues last summer following a trial.

The 26-year-old, who missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Brentford due to a knee injury, recently signed a new contract running to the summer of 2018 with the club having an option for a further year.

Kieron_FJ added 12:45 - Mar 10 About time, Cant imagine they've got many better options in midfield. Just for goodness sake don't get injured, offers something different in our midfield and personally one of my favourite players.Need you till the very end of the season! COYB's

Bergholtblue added 13:47 - Mar 10 Best of luck to him he deserves it. Although it will probably mean he will not be ready for the home match v Bournemouth

Kirbmeister added 13:49 - Mar 10 Only Town fans (well some of them) could find a negative about a guy being picked for his National football team.

itfc1981 added 14:59 - Mar 10 Kirbmeister I think Tommy Smith found a negative did he not?

good_at_COD added 14:59 - Mar 10 Nothing personal, you understand, but Bru is just a run-of-the-mill midfielder, of which we have several these days, and would never have been considered good enough in the past. The fact that he is now confirms where we are as a club.

paulthebluealien added 15:07 - Mar 10 Obviously. Bru, Skuse and Bishop are our best midfield three - though Ambrose when fit definitely deserves more of a run in.

blueherts added 15:21 - Mar 10 GOOD AT COD - When you pay nothing for a player there are obviously low expectations BUT Bru has got some talent - Yes he was at Clairefontaine Acad in France as a youngster and he may have lost his ay since - But I think he adds alot in the middle when he plays 'Where we are as a club' Just outside the playoffs , in our own hands and ready for the last 10 games Maybe you prefer the last 10 years ? Another Glass half empty guy me thinks All about opinions though and we respect yours but disagree

Kirbmeister added 16:07 - Mar 10 Itfc1981 - moan moan friggin moan! I dont know why I look on here sometimes - guess I'm a town fan and can't resist but God we have a load of winging supporters.

itfc1981 added 17:05 - Mar 10 Are you moaning about fans moaning Kirbers?

Cloddyseedbed added 17:33 - Mar 10 Kirbmeister presumably you expect our team to be in the playoffs. Surely having Bru available and fit for all league games to give us the greatest chance of achieving this has not been considered by you. International travel drains players and with the greatest respect we are no inundated with players of his class in midfield. Maybe Kidsurello and osborne should think why I made that comment also. Reaching the playoffs or Bru on International duty. In an ideal world both but the world ain't ideal.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 18:53 - Mar 10 Well I hope he enjoys it and comes back excited and inspired. Good luck Kevin, thank you for the season so far and well done Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! :)

Dozzells_Bobblehat added 19:07 - Mar 10 I agree with Paulthealien - would love to see a back five with Mings and Parr at wing back, Skuse sitting deep and Bru and Bishop in front of him . Really like Bru, talented and great engine. Call up well deserved.

blueboy1981 added 20:07 - Mar 10 .......... oh well - at least we now know Mauritius have a National Team.

blueboy1981 added 20:11 - Mar 10 Kirbmeister .............. do you see them complaining about YOU - as much as you do about THEM - NO you don't. Entitled to their opinion - just as much as you are yours. YOU never stop 'moaning' - about the so called 'moaners'. Ever thought of that.

blueboy1981 added 20:49 - Mar 10 ....... now don't tell me you've never heard of Burundi and Togo ....... I just wouldn't believe you.

Kirbmeister added 21:06 - Mar 10 blueboy1981 - if you cant beat them join them! Bru should tell the National team coach he doesnt want to play for them and they were ridiculous to even think about it in the first place!
