- Ex-QPR Youth Goalie Liam O'Brien
Portsmouth News - O'Brien pulled out of England duty 27 June 2010 By Neil Allen
- Liam O'Brien has been pulled out of England Under-19 duty in a
bid to solve Pompey's goalkeeping crisis.
- The 18-year-old was scheduled to fly out to France next month as part of Noel Blake's squad for the European Championship finals.
- That would have left Steve Cotterill without a single keeper on his books for the pre-season programme.
- It has prompted the Blues to request O'Brien – who has one cap to his name - is not included after all.
- Instead, the former QPR starlet will return to training on Thursday and is likely to start the first pre-season friendly against Havant & Waterlooville on Saturday, July 10.
- Cotterill said: 'We have not got a goalkeeper so I'm afraid it's something we have had to do.
- 'As it stands, we are desperately short of keepers in the squad and we don't know the situation with David James.
- 'We could be given dispensation by the Football League to sign another one even though there is an embargo.
- 'But at the moment we need somebody in goal so Liam will not be going off with England next month.
- 'We are grateful to the FA for understanding our predicament.'
- Another option for Cotterill is Jon Stewart, who was at Fratton Park until the end of the 2008/09 campaign.
- The former Weymouth keeper turned down a contract that summer to achieve his ambition of playing abroad.
- Yet he returned at the tail-end of last season to play in the reserves for two games as a traillist.
- Since then, Stewart, who is highly regarded by goalkeeping coach Dave Coles, has been offered a permanent deal – before Cotterill became manager. Portsmouth News
