Stephen Kenny reveals Republic of Ireland squad for June qualifiers

Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has announced a 25-man squad for the Boys in Green's two upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers this month.

Ireland will travel to travel to Turkey next week for a nine-day training camp in Antalya before they head to Athens to play Greece on June 16. Kenny's side host Gibraltar at the Aviva Stadium three days later on June 19.

Midfield duo Jeff Hendrick and Alan Browne have been selected for the camp after overcoming injury concerns whilst there is a return to the squad for Middlesbrough centre-back Darragh Lenihan and Liam Scales, who enjoyed an impressive loan spell at Aberdeen from Celtic last season. 

Peterborough United midfielder Jack Taylor has also been recalled to the squad having impressed in the training camp in Bristol last week. Chiedozie Ogbene, who reported for the Bristol training camp for rehabilitation on a hamstring injury, has been ruled out of the two qualifiers.
