Ireland captain Nathan Collins and Killybegs native Seamus Coleman have both been left out of the squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures.
Collins picked up a calf injury with his club Brentford, missing their last two games, while Coleman has been without a club since parting ways with Everton at the end of last season.
Mark Travers and Robbie Brady also miss out, while there’s a first call-up for Sheffield United’s Liam Kitching.
