Stephen Kenny has called up five players for the Republic of Ireland team for the trip to Finland, but Aaron Connolly is not returning to setup.
The team travels to Helsinki on Tuesday and receives the latest round of Covid-19 test results and ahead of the Nations League tie, Kenny has added reinforcements to the exhausted setup.
West Bromwich Albion defender Dara O’Shea and Derby County midfielder Jason Knight have been promoted from the U21 squad, while Norwich City forward Adam Idah rejoins the team after receiving the nod of the HSE.
The announcement of the calls prompted Connolly of Brighton to react on social media, with a tweet now deleted, featuring an emoji of a person raising their hand in the air.
Furthermore, QPR midfielder Ryan Manning has been called up to the senior team for the first time and Portsmouth forward Ronan Curtis also joins the team.
The Ireland team and backroom staff were tested for Covid-19 at their Dublin base on Sunday evening and the results will be delivered on Monday afternoon.
