Stephen Kenny has named a 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Portugal and Luxembourg.

One of the notable names missing from the squad is Brighton striker Aaron Connolly. Kenny said during a press conference this afternoon that Connolly's absence is due to a heel injury. Harry Arter and Cyrus Christie also miss out.

Captain Seamus Coleman has returned to the squad after he missed the October double-header against Azerbaijan and Qatar through injury.

West Bromwich Albion midfielder Jayson Molumby and Preston North End midfielder Alan Browne both come back into the squad following suspension.
