When will the Republic of Ireland squad be announced for the Euro 2020 playoff against Slovakia?

Stephen Kenny is scheduled to announced his squad for the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2020 playoff semi-final with Slovakia on Tuesday, September 29.

The Ireland boss is set to name his squad at around 1pm from Abbotstown ahead of the do or die match in Bratislava on October 8.

The squad will also have to be available for the Nations League matches against Wales and Finland on October 11 and October 14 respectively.

Kenny blooded some new talent in his first games in charge earlier this month, but it remains to be seen if he will turn to experience against Slovakia.

A number of big calls include whether Jack Byrne returns to the fold after continuing to impress for Shamrock Rovers.

While one of the big talking points from Kenny's last panel was the omission of Southampton striker Michael Obafemi.

Here is a reminder of Kenny's last squad:
