Martin O'Neill has named a 36 man provisional Ireland squad for the upcoming European qualifier against Scotland on November 14th as well as the friendly against USA on November 18th.
As expected, there is no place for in demand Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish. However, Hull City's Brian Lenihan is once again included in the squad, as is Glenn Whelan who was expected to miss out due to injury. Wes Hoolahan has been ruled out due to ankle ligament damage.
The squad will be reduced ahead of the team meeting up on November 10th.
