Four new call-ups in Ireland squad as Seamus Coleman and Robbie Brady return

Midfielder Glenn Whelan will lead Ireland out as captain against Northern Ireland for what will be his 85th senior appearance. The Aston Villa man will not be part of the squad for the Denmark game.

Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill has given first senior call-ups to four players in his provisional squad for this month's games against Northern Ireland and Denmark.

There are first senior call-ups for Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool), Jimmy Dunne (Hearts), Ryan Manning (Rotherham United) and Michael Obafemi (Southampton).
