Ireland Statements
Stehpen Kenny spoke ahead of the match: "His career is in its infancy. He's had a very good start to his Premier League career and is scoring some goals in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup. We have known Evan for a number of years, having come through the Irish system at Bohemians and through the underage international teams. "At 18, he's showing he's ready to come into the team, and he'll be starting for the first time tomorrow." "Our ambition is to win the match. In all international matches you can't take anything for granted. Latvia's ranking is low, but they have had very good results. They drew 3-3 with Turkey, 0-0 with Norway, won 3-1 against Lithuania, 1-0 against the Netherlands.... They have shown that they are capable of good performances, so you have to earn the right in every international match."
