Two of Albion's emerging talents could get the chance to play for their country at Wembley.
The Republic of Ireland will face the Three Lions next month in a friendly.
The match replaces England’s planned fixture versus New Zealand, which was cancelled due to Covid-related travel considerations.
Aaron Connolly (pictured above) and Jayson Molumby have been a big part of the Irish squad of late while Shane Duffy, the Albion defender on loan at Celtic, has been captain.
The match will take place on Thursday, November 12 with an 8pm kick-off.
Today’s announcement appears to end hopes of Maty Ryan’s Australia of filling the blank date in the England schedule.
The Socceroos had seemed confident of securing a fixture in which they would use only their players based in Europe.
