Jimmy Dunne has been called up by the Republic of Ireland for Tuesday's Nations
League game against Ukraine.
The uncapped Queen's Park Rangers defender, 24, has been drafted in with Shane Duffy and
John Egan both set to miss the game in Poland.
Duffy is suspended while Egan has withdrawn from the squad due to family reasons.
Dunne, who has two Republic Under-21 caps, made 43 appearances for QPR last season, scoring three goals.
Having started his career with St Kevin's Boys in Dublin, he spent nine years in Manchester United's academy
before moving to Burnley.
After several loan spells away from Turf Moor, Dunne made three Premier League appearances for the
Clarets during the 2020-21 season before joining QPR last summer.
The Republic are hoping to end the international window with back-to-back wins having followed defeats
by Armenia and Ukraine with an impressive victory over Scotland in Dublin on Saturday.
