Martin O'Neill Makes Cuts To Squad For Crucial Wales World Cup Qualifier

Martin O'Neill has trimmed his squad for Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Wales on Friday and the friendly against Iceland on Tuesday.

O'Neill named a 39-man provisional squad last week. That has now been cut to a 28-man group.

Due to injury, Harry Arter, Rob Elliot, Paul McShane, Ciaran Clark, Liam Kelly and David McGoldrick have all been ruled out of the game.

O'Neill has also cut Anthony Pilkington, Stephen Gleeson, Darron Gibson, Adam Rooney and Matt Doherty from the squad.

Despite picking up an injury while playing for Norwich at the weekend, Wes Hoolahan is included. Though, he is a doubt to face Wales.

Shane Duffy was not named in the provisional squad due to a foot injury sustained while playing for Brighton earlier this month.

Robbie Brady is unavailable to play against Wales due to suspension.
