Seamus Coleman has been called up to the Republic of Ireland's Under-21s squad to face Estonia on Tuesday, August 10.
The Blues' right-back has been named in the 18-man squad for their European Championship qualifier at the Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, kick-off 7.30pm.
Coleman,21, has represented his homeland both at Under-21 and Under-23 level, and made his international debut for the Under-21s in a friendly against Sweden in 2008.
He has made a total of nine appearances for Ireland's Under-21s set-up.
Recently appointed head coach of the Republic of Ireland's Under-21s Noel King, said: "I am really looking forward to the upcoming UEFA Championship qualifier against Estonia who will be a tough outfit to beat following some significant results in the campaign to date, most recently, their victory against second placed Turkey last May.
"I am very satisfied with the quality of the players who I have been able to call-up to the squad for this important qualifying game as I think that it is of upmost importance for the players to get some positive results for the team before the end of this campaign.
"Included in the squad are a core group of talented players who have the experience of playing at this level while we have also drafted in a number of very capable young players which I believe will give us a good balance between being competitive in this fixture while also giving some of our younger players the experience that they need at this level."

Congrats Seamus! I reckon if your game continues to improve so fast it won't be long before you get a call-up from the senior team =)
