Stephen Kenny has called up Jack Byrne and Derrick Williams to his team from the Republic of Ireland for the upcoming Euro 2020 play-offs against Slovakia, and the Nations League clashes with Wales and Finland.
Byrne has been in impressive form for Ireland’s League leaders Shamrock Rovers, and he garnered attention while playing for Tallaght’s side in their 2-0 loss to AC Milan in the Europa League qualifiers.
Meanwhile, Blackburn’s Williams gets the nod and is listed as one of seven defenders on the team.
Once again, there is no place for Southampton leader Michael Obafemi. Troy Parrott misses through injury, while Robbie Brady and Callum O’Dowda are included despite hitting.
The team will meet in Dublin on Sunday and train at the FAI National Training Center in Abbotstown before flying to Slovakia on Tuesday.
‘The Boys in Green’ hope to put their disappointing September performances behind them in Bratislava as they look to secure a place in the play-off finals against Northern Ireland or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
