Uncapped Sligo native Johnny Kenny has replaced the inured Troy Parrott in the Ireland squad for the opening World Cul qualifiers which begin with Hungary's visit to Lansdowne Road on Saturday (7.45pm).

Celtic striker Kenny progressed through the underage ranks and earns his first call-up after in-form AZ Alkmaar forward Parrott was ruled out with injury.
