McCarthy out of Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad

The Republic of Ireland Under-21s depart for Switzerland today, with four changes to the squad originally announced for the double-header UEFA European Championship qualifying matches against Switzerland and Turkey.

Recent CSKA Moscow recruit, Cillian Sheridan, has been called up to the Republic of Ireland senior squad while Wigan's James McCarthy, Blackburn Rovers' Aaron Doran and Stephen Gleeson of MK Dons have all been ruled out through injury.
