Bohemians have delayed Dawson Devoy's release for international duty ahead of next Thursday's friendly with Qatar owing to a busy upcoming Airtricity League Premier Division schedule.
Devoy received his first senior call up alongside three other League Of Ireland players last week, as well as former St Patrick's Athletic star Mason Melia - now of Tottenham Hotspur.
The Gypsies face a trip to Galway on Friday evening followed by Monday's crucial Dublin derby with Shamrock Rovers at Dalymount Park on Monday night. They then travel to Sligo on Friday week to take on the Bit O' Red.
Devoy could have missed some or all of those three games owing to his involvement in Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad for the Qatar-Canada friendly double header. Devoy will rejoin the Boys In Green for the trip to Canada in two weeks' time.
A Bohs statment explained: "Bohemians are delighted to confirm that our captain Dawson Devoy will join up with the Ireland senior squad at the end of next week ahead of their friendly away to Canada."
Devoy's club manager, Alan Reynolds, added: "When the Ireland squad was named on Monday, we had to pause and check what the implications were for everyone - ourselves as a team and club, Dawson himself and obviously the international set-up and manager as well.
"I have said repeatedly that I never want to stand in any player's way when it comes to representing their country - we want our players getting international recognition. But the Qatar game falling outside the international window added a complication.
"It was the right thing to do to take a breath and see what that meant for everyone and whether disruption to our own fixtures could be avoided.
"Thankfully we have spoken to Heimir who respects our league and knows how important it is for us to have Dawson available for us for two big league games next week."
