Ireland manager Martin O’Neill has named a 35 man squad for the Euro 2016 warm up against the Netherlands on Friday 27th May.
After missing the March friendlies against Switzerland and Slovakia through injury, there are recalls for Shay Given, Marc Wilson, Jeff Hendrick, Harry Arter, Jonathan Walters, and David McGoldrick.
A knee injury kept Given out of action until last month only for a groin problem to trouble him in recent weeks.
Seamus Coleman is also named despite sitting out Everton’s last five games with a hamstring injury.
Arter is also included even though he has not played for Bournemouth recently due to injury while Oxfords Callum O’Dowda gets a first senior call.
US MLS strikers Kevin Doyle and Robbie Keane are also named.
