Cunningham, Browne, Horgan and Maquire make the squad.

Deffo going to be tuning into Sky Sports for the fixture.

My only worry is that every time that GC gets a call up, he then gets crocked thus pulling out.

Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman returns to the squad to face Turkey later this month almost a year after surgery on a double leg-break.

The Everton full-back sustained the serious injury while playing for the Republic against Wales in Dublin.

There are first senior call-ups for five players in the 30-man panel.

They are Manchester United keeper Kieran O'Hara and defenders Declan Rice, Darragh Lenihan, Derrick Williams and Enda Stevens.

Preston North End pair Greg Cunningham and Sean Maguire are also included following long-term injuries, along with Brentford midfielder Alan Judge.

Coleman suffered tibia and fibula fractures in his right leg last March following a bad challenge from Neil Taylor, who was given a red card in the World Cup qualifier.

The 29-year-old made his Everton comeback in January and is now set for an international return in Antalya on 23 March.

The Republic's first game of 2018 will come at the end of a three-day training camp in the city.

O'Hara and West Ham defender Rice had previously trained with the panel but were not included for a match-day squad.

The pair will report to the Republic Under-21s after the camp finishes in order to be available for the European Championship qualifier against Azerbaijan on 27 March at Tallaght Stadium.

Would have preferred seani to have missed this one but after the cut I expect he is the most likely to stay as there are so few strikers in the 30

Cunningham, Browne, Horgan and Maguire all named.

Hopefully Cunningham's call up curse doesn't strike again. Looking at the squad I'd expect to see all 4 make the cut and have some involvement.

Fingers crossed it doesn't damage our playoff push.
 
Sounds selfish but I hope none of them get a game. The run in for us is important without any silly international injuries.

Shame..

He came on in a shirt about 8 sizes too big for him and ran and ran and ran for about 20 minutes. Just kept running around. At times Horgan reminds me of that.

I think given time he could turn into a reliable squad player bit needs to work on his end product massively.

Think you are thinking of the wrong Keane...

With Callum Robinson declaring himself available for selection, we could end up with 5 quite easily.

Believe that Horgan is rated very highly by the Ireland set up, which doesn’t surprise me. Good player.

Was it against Rovers? I seem to remember him having a fresh air shot.
