Peterborough United defender completes June international programme by keeping clean sheet
Peterborough United centre-back David Okagbue played 90 minutes for the Republic of Ireland U21s on Tuesday afternoon (June 9).
On the day that a number of his teammates returned to the club’s training ground for fitness testing, Okagbue was in Zagreb representing his country.
He played 90 minutes as Ireland dominated the possession but failed to find a breakthrough against Qatar U23s and the game finished 0-0.
Okagbue was an unused substitute on Saturday as Ireland drew 2-2 with Croatia.
That match concluded Ireland's June fixtures and Okagbue will now have a break before returning to training with Posh.
