City's latest signing Glenn Whelan has been called into the Republic of Ireland squad for tomorrow night's friendly with Brazil.

Whelan, who turned 24 in January, is called up to the senior squad for the first time having previously appeared for their "B" team in a 0-0 draw with Scotland in November.

The midfielder flies over to Dublin tonight and could be in line to receive his first ever cap and play against the likes of Real Madrid's Robinho & Julio Baptista, Arsenal's Gilberto Silva and Chelsea's Alex in tomorrow's Croke Park fixture.

Glenn made his City debut in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cardiff City, coming on as a substitute in the second half for the Potters.

Action from Dublin kicks off at 7.45pm but City supporters can tune into the pre-match build up on Sky Sports 1 from 7.00pm.

Meanwhile, Ryan Shawcross and Adam Rooney could go head-to-head tonight in the England Under 21s vs Irish Under 21s game at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium.

The match is also shown live on Sky Sports 1, with coverage beginning at 7.30pm.
