Republic of Ireland squad v Wales: Who Stephen Kenny can select for Nations League clash

The Republic of Ireland host Wales at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday as Stephen Kenny seeks his first win as senior boss at his fourth attempt.

The Boys in Green played well in their Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Slovakia on Thursday night, but were cruelly beaten on penalties.

Aaron Connolly and Adam Idah are out of the squad after being deemed close contacts of an FAI staff member who tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of that game in Bratislava, while David McGoldrick will miss the matches against Wales and Finland through injury. James McCarthy is also a doubt for this afternoon's game.

Daryl Horgan and Sean Maguire have come into the squad to replace Connolly and Idah.

Here's the squad in full:

Goalkeepers:  Darren Randolph (West Ham United), Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool), Mark Travers (Bournemouth).

Defenders:  Matt Doherty (Tottenham Hotspur), Enda Stevens (Sheffield United), Shane Duffy (Celtic, on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion), John Egan (Sheffield United), Derrick Williams (Blackburn Rovers), Kevin Long (Burnley), Cyrus Christie (Nottingham Forest, on loan from Fulham).

Midfielders:  Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa), James McCarthy (Crystal Palace), Jeff Hendrick (Newcastle United), Alan Browne (Preston North End), Jayson Molumby (Brighton & Hove Albion), Jack Byrne (Shamrock Rovers), Robbie Brady (Burnley), Josh Cullen (Anderlecht).

Forwards:  Callum Robinson (West Bromwich Albion), Callum O’Dowda (Bristol City), James McClean (Stoke City), Daryl Horgan (Wycombe Wanderers), David McGoldrick (Sheffield United), Sean Maguire (Preston North End), Shane Long (Southampton)
