Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has named what could be his final Ireland squad ahead of two international friendlies with Andorra and Hungary next month.
The Ireland boss has come under pressure since last month’s surprise defeat to Luxembourg and it is believed the FAI will review his position as boss if results are below par next month.
Shamrock Rovers midfielder Daniel Mandroiu receives his first call-up to the senior squad as well as Rotherham United winger Chiedozie Ogbene, St. Mirren midfielder Jamie McGrath and Norwich City defender Andrew Omobamidele.
Tranmere Rovers defender Lee O'Connor, who is on loan from Celtic, returns to the senior squad for the first time since he made his debut in November 2019 against New Zealand.
Swansea City duo Conor Hourihane and Ryan Manning will link up with the squad following their Play-Off Final against Brentford in Saturday, May 29.
Ireland will travel to Barcelona, Spain to face Andorra on Thursday, June 3 before travelling to Budapest to take on Hungary on Tuesday, June 8.
Kenny will look for his first win as Ireland boss against Andorra his 11th game in charge.
