Sunderland fans are less than impressed about Paddy McNair’s international call-up, after the defender was included in Northern Ireland’s 24-man squad.
Fans in Sunderland haven’t had much to cheer about this season, and the injury problems their side has suffered have been a major part of that. Paddy McNair has missed most of the campaign, starting just five league games for the Black Cats.
McNair hasn’t featured for Chris Coleman’s side since the 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough last month, but has now been called up to play for Northern Ireland in the upcoming international friendlies.

The Northern Irishman couldn’t possibly be worse than the performances from the players who have been playing, but has been missing for various injuries, most notably the cruciate ligament damage that meant his season didn’t start until late October.
The 22 year-old joined from Manchester United in 2016, but has managed just over 800 minutes on the pitch in two full seasons at the club.
Fans have had plenty of reasons to be frustrated in recent weeks, and they’re all saying the same thing about the injured defender’s appearance in the national squad.
