Millwall duo called up for international duty.

George Saville has been called up to Northern Ireland’s squad for next month’s friendlies against Denmark and Iceland.

Saville, 31, has earned 57 caps since making his debut against Germany in 2017. The midfielder is currently in talks with Millwall about a new contract with reduced terms.

Former Millwall loanee defender Daniel Ballard, who is preparing for Sunderland’s Championship play-off final against Sheffield United on Saturday, has also been named by manager Michael O’Neill.

Northern Ireland is gearing up for the start of FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifiers next autumn, where they will face Germany, Slovakia, and Luxembourg.

Meanwhile, Millwall’s leading scorer last season, Mihailo Ivanovic, has been called up to the Serbia under-20 squad.

The Serbs will play friendlies against Bulgaria (Friday, May 31) and Greece (Wednesday, June 4).
