Squad confirmed for Georgia & Serbia games

MON

Martin O'Neill has trimmed down his Republic of Ireland squad ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Round games against Georgia (September 2) and Serbia (September 5).

Injuries have ruled out James McCarthy (hamstring) and Jeff Hendrick (quad), while Eunan O'Kane reported into camp but has since returned to his club due to an ongoing groin complaint.

Keiren Westwood (knee), David Meyler (knee) and Jonathan Walters (ankle) did not take a full part in training, as a precautionary measure, on Monday, August 28 but are due to train on Tuesday.

Aiden McGeady and David McGoldrick are both due to report into camp on Tuesday after being afforded extra time due to personal reasons.

The squad will have three more sessions there before departing for Tbilisi on Thursday for the game against Georgia.
