Stephen Kenny has named his Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming friendly against England and UEFA Nations League clashes against Wales and Bulgaria.

Captain Coleman missed the Euro 2020 play-off defeat to Slovakia and the Nations League clash with Wales through injury.

He was preferred to Matt Doherty at right-back in Kenny's first games as Ireland boss but Coleman has been in fine form for Everton so he has a good chance of regaining a starting position. Kenny has not ruled out fitting Coleman and Tottenham star Doherty into the same starting 11.

Luton Town striker James Collins has been called up for the first time under Kenny after Sheffield United striker David McGoldrick announced his retirement from international football.

Shamrock Rovers midfielder Jack Byrne will link up with the squad ahead of the Wales game.
