Republic of Ireland Under-21s boss Noel King has handed first call-ups to Coventry keeper Michael Quirke and Preston midfielder Adam Barton. The pair are included in a 17-man squad for next Friday's friendly clash with Portugal in Agueda. There is a place too for Arsenal midfielder Conor Henderson, who was handed a senior debut for the Gunners in their FA Cup fifth round replay with Leyton Orient earlier this last month.
