His contribution has helped the defending champions to the top of the table and his efforts have been subsequently rewarded in Kenny’s selection which sees Mandroiu one of four players to earn a first call-up.
Rotherham United winger Chiedozie Ogbene, St Mirren midfielder Jamie McGrath and Norwich City defender Andrew Omobamidele have also been drafted in by Kenny.
Also included in the panel is former Templeogue College student Dara O’Shea and ex-Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu from Firhouse.
Ireland face off against Andorra in Barcelona on Thursday, June 3 before heading to Budapest to take on Hungary on Tuesday, June 8.
