Derby County’s Jason Knight has been recalled to the Republic of Ireland set up for their upcoming international matches.
The midfielder was forced to miss the last international camp following an ankle injury which ruled him out of the early part of the 2021/22 season.
Knight made his return to the Derby first team during the defeat against Birmingham City following the September international break - and he has been rewarded with a recall to Stephen Kenny’s Republic of Ireland squad for their two international fixtures.
They face a trip to the Baku Olympic Stadium to face Azerbaijan on Saturday 9th October (5pm kick off) in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture, whilst they are back on home turf three days later as they face Qatar in Dublin on Tuesday 12th October (7:45pm kick off) in a friendly.
Knight has earned seven caps for the Republic of Ireland since making his debut in a 1-0 defeat against Finland in October 2020.
The Rams’ Academy graduate scored his first goal and registered his first assist for his country earlier this year in a convincing 4-1 victory over Andorra.
