Browne and Parrott’s Ireland will face Latvia on Wednesday and begin their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a game against World Cup finalists France on Monday – Cannon and Ireland’s U21s will face Iceland on Sunday afternoon.

It will be the first time that Cannon has been called up to the U21s setup, off the back of three goals in six games for PNE and his manager thinks he’s getting his just rewards.

Lowe said: “Tom has deserved the call up from what he's been doing, I know he's been around the fold before with the U21s. I actually spoke to Stephen Kenny about a couple of our players and he was asking about Tom so I'm sure if he continues to perform for the 21s he'll potentially get a call up for the senior squad."

Delap has three games to look forward to as the England U20 side prepare for the World Cup this summer. Their first game will take place at the Manchester City Academy Stadium, a familiar place for the City loanee, against Germany on Wednesday before jetting off to Spain to face the USA on Saturday and France next Tuesday.

"Every time they get called up I'm over the moon for them because it's important, and we've got a couple on standby as well,” Lowe said. “The fact of the matter is when you get an international call up it shows you're doing good and our lads who have been called up have been great. I just wish and hope that they go there and come back fully fit, I don't want any injuries.”
