Jonsson credits Hearts coach Frail with Iceland call-up

Eggert Jonsson has credited Hearts coach Stephen Frail with his first call-up to Iceland's senior squad.

He told the Edinburgh Evening News: "Any player likes to hear their coach say good things about them and I'm no different.

"He's been really good with me since I arrived at the club and he's been my coach since I came here. I was in his under-19s team and now I'm in the first team.

"He's a great man and a great coach. I'd really like to thank him for everything he has done for me in the two-and-a-half years I've been here. A lot of what I have done so far, including the international call-up, has been down to him. He's been a massive influence."
