Pic: Sky don’t seem to realise which Irish team Jeff Hendrick plays for

Hint: He’s from Dublin.

Jeff Hendrick is preparing to play for Northern Ireland at Euro 2016 – according to Sky Sports.

The Derby County and Republic of Ireland midfielder spotted the error and tweeted the good folks at Sky to alert them.

The 24 year old has played for the Republic of Ireland at U-17, U-19, U-21 levels and has 18 senior caps. We’re sure Sky’s error, although difficult to comprehend, was a simple mishap.

Unlike when commentator Alan Parry referred to James McClean as “the Northern Irishman from Londonderry” last August.
