Portsmouth striker Ronan Curtis has been drafted into the Republic of Ireland squad for Tuesday night’s friendly in Poland. The 22-year-old has been added to a depleted party for the game in Wroclaw with Jonathan Walters having returned to club Ipswich following Thursday’s 4-1 Nations League thumping in Wales. The latter has scored five goals in six League One games for his club this season following his arrival from Derry City. He has also lost Burnley full-back Stephen Ward to a foot injury. Liverpool keeper Caoimhin Kelleher, who trained with the squad for two days at their Welsh base in Newport, has now returned to his club.
