A summer series that could shape whether Ireland’s Germany return comes to fruition next year begins on Thursday when Stephen Kenny names his squad for the Euro qualifiers against Greece and Gibraltar.

Technically, preparations for the Athens showdown on June 16 got underway last week when Kenny assembled 20 of his lower league players in Bristol for four days of conditioning work.
