Republic of Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrímsson is expected to recall captain Nathan Collins and midfielder Josh Cullen for the Nations League games against Austria and Kosovo.
The squad will be announced on Thursday, ahead of the matches against Austria on November 14th and Kosovo on November 17th.
Collins, who has been out since September with a calf injury, may return for the Austria game, alongside stand-in captain Dara O’Shea.
Cullen, who has been absent for 10 months following knee surgery, is likely to be approached with caution, having made appearances off the bench in the Championship since his return.
