Republic of Ireland striker Evan Ferguson has been ruled out of the upcoming European Championship qualifiers against France and the the Netherlands.
The 18 year old, who scored a hat trick in Brighton's 3-1 win over Newcastle United at the weekend, sustained a knee injury in that game and will miss both matches.
Stephen Kenny's men play the French in Paris on Thursday before welcoming the Dutch to the Aviva Stadium on Sunday.
