What can I read about the game on Independent.ie?

The game is the second of a big international window with four Nations League games for Ireland. Ireland will play Scotland (June 11) in Dublin, then face a trip to Lodz in Poland for Ukraine’s ‘home’ game on June 14.

Is this the week where we find out how good Caoimhín Kelleher really is? It may sound like a dramatic statement given that a 23-year-old good enough to be trusted in a cup final by one of the top club sides in the world is obviously exceptionally talented.

Daniel McDonnell has looked into the man who has stepped into Gavin Bazunu’s shoes for these games, Liverpool’s second choice goalkeeper, Caoimhín Kelleher.

And Aidan Fitzmaurice has profiled the newest addition to the squad, Blackpool’s CJ Hamilton.
