Stephen Kenny’s side travel to face Luxembourg on Sunday (November 14) at 7:45pm. It will be their final game in World Cup qualification. They can not advance to the play-off stage but can overtake their opponents with a win and finish third in the group.

Last night (November 11), the side got an impressive point after a 0-0 draw at home to table-topping Portugal.

Taylor has played 13 times for Posh in the Championship this season after overcoming injury troubles which bothered him throughout pre-season. Those injury issues have likely kept him out of previous squads, up until now.

Taylor has been capped seven times by the nation’s Under-21 side.
