Manager Martin O'Neill has spoken in the recent past about his admiration for the English-born striker, who qualifies through his grandparents, as he made the decision to declare for Ireland.

 

Hogan has endured a mixed and injury-interrupted start to his season for the Villains, with just two EFL Cup goals to his name so far this season.
