Harry Arter Starts! Martin O'Neill Names Ireland Team To Play Austria

Martin O'Neill has named his Ireland team to play Austria in Vienna this evening.

With James McCarthy out injured, Harry Arter wins his fourth cap in midfield. It will be the Bournemouth player's first competitive game for Ireland, completely extinguishing any thought that he may switch allegiance to England.

Stephen Ward is also out through injury. So Robbie Brady will play at left-back rather than the more attacking role which he has had in recent games.

Despite being an injury worry during the week, James McClean starts the game.
