​Burnley defender Long gets Republic of Ireland call-up

Burnley defender Kevin Long has been handed his first call-up into a 37-man Republic of Ireland squad for the games against Mexico, Uruguay and Austria.

The 26 year old made his first Premier League start against West Brom two weeks ago.

"I saw Kevin Long play last week," said O'Neill. "He really impressed me, don't discount him. It'll be good to have a look at him."
