Injured Seamus Coleman and Sammie Szmodics withdraw from Republic of Ireland squad
Andy Moran has been called up to Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad for the Republic of Ireland's friendlies with Senegal and Luxembourg, with Seamus Coleman and Sammie Szmodics missing out through injury.
The FAI issued a squad update on Thursday morning as the squad trained ahead of the first of two end-of-season friendlies, against Senegal at Aviva Stadium on Friday, 6 June (Live on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player).
Moran of Brighton and Hove Albion - who was on loan with Stoke - is only the fourth player who spent last season in the Championship included in the squad, after Max O'Leary, Robbie Brady and Jason Knight, as Hallgrimsson has opted to rest several players who completed their gruelling second tier seasons earlier this month.
Coleman played only 18 minutes of his first Everton start in five months, against Southampton, while Szmodics made one substitute appearance for Ipswich after a three-month lay-off with an ankle injury.
Goalkeepers: Caoimhín Kelleher (Liverpool), Max O'Leary (Bristol City), Josh Keeley (Leyton Orient)
Defenders: Matt Doherty (Wolves), Nathan Collins (Brentford), Dara O'Shea (Ipswich Town), Jake O'Brien (Everton), Andrew Omobamidele (Strasbourg), Liam Scales (Celtic), Robbie Brady (Preston)
Midfielders: Jason Knight (Bristol City), Killian Phillips (St. Mirren), Will Smallbone (Southampton), Jack Taylor (Ipswich), John Joe Patrick Finn (Stade De Reims), Andy Moran (Blackburn Rovers)

'Stephen brought a lot of the lads through... Heimir has a different sort of tactic'
WILL SMALLBONE has hailed the impact of manager Heimir Hallgrímsson after Ireland drew 1-1 tonight with Senegal — a team 41 places above the Boys in Green in the world rankings and unbeaten in 20 matches heading into the game. Injuries have meant it is only the second time Smallbone has featured in a camp since the Icelandic coach took charge. And while the hosts were disappointed at the concession of an 82nd-minute equaliser, the Southampton star felt the game was 'another step in the right direction' following back-to-back Nations League playoff wins over Bulgaria in March. 'I think sometimes these summer camps have been a bit of a struggle where we've had a long time off and we've been coming in and trying to get up to speed,' Smallbone said. Advertisement 'I've noticed a real high quality and high intensity throughout the whole week, and it's been showing in the performance there.' While he has not had too many opportunities to link up with the squad in the last few months, Smallbone has been impressed with Hallgrímsson as a coach. 'Throughout the week, the manager has made it really clear what he wants from people, and it's just getting back in the swing of things and being in an Irish set-up. I love coming away to play for Ireland, I couldn't wait to get away and see everyone and get back in it and build connections with everyone.' Smallbone played alongside Jason Knight in central midfield and said the position was not 'too different' to what he has been accustomed to recently, despite sometimes being employed in a more attacking role for club and country. 'I was only in Heimir's first camp so that was very new for everyone so I missed the next three camps, so to then come back in, it was very similar messages. But it all seems very clear and concise — that makes it easier as a player when you know exactly what the manager wants from you and you just have to go out and do your best to deliver it. 'The lads have done really well over the last few camps, it's good to see us winning games. Performances have been really nice, and maybe in the past we've got good performances, but we need to make sure we're winning to get to these tournaments. 'I think he wants to create a winning habit, and you see the way he talks about getting to the World Cup, it's obviously the aim for everyone. Winning is the only way we can get there. So it is about coming out on top in games in the past we maybe would have lost by a goal to switch it the other way to win by a goal and put an emphasis on set-pieces and making sure we're a threat whenever we get one.' Smallbone also admitted it felt 'different' to the reign of Stephen Kenny, who gave the midfielder his senior debut in 2023. 'Stephen brought a lot of the lads through from 21s, and Heimir has a different sort of tactic if you like. I think if you look at Irish teams in the past, they've always been built very big on set-pieces and making the Aviva a really tough place to come to, so I think that's what we've to get back to. 'The goal for every game is to win, at times performances were… I don't want to say performances have been good, but winning has not been there. So the main thing is just winning. 'The more I play football, the more I go into my career and see that winning is what gets remembered, it's what ultimately is going to get us to the World Cup. I think if the game is scrappy and it's a one-goal game, we need to make sure it's us that gets the goal, and as long as we're in games with however long left, we'll always feel we'll get an opportunity to get a goal from set-pieces.'

Smallbone gives 'step in right direction' verdict as Ireland draw with Senegal
Will Smallbone insists Ireland's draw with Senegal was another step in the right direction under Heimir Hallgrimsson. The Boys in Green let a Kasey McAteer lead slip with the concession of an equaliser eight minutes from time at Aviva Stadium. But Ireland remain unbeaten this year, going into Tuesday's season-ending friendly in Luxembourg and the all-important World Cup campaign in September. Smallbone was making his return to the squad after a luckless time with injury, and this was only his second camp under Hallgrimsson. But the Southampton man played well in a deeper-lying midfield role and feels there were more positives than negatives on the night. Smallbone said: 'It's another step in the right direction I think against a strong team that has been unbeaten for such a long time. 'It's a different challenge for us playing against Senegal but an enjoyable one. I think we can come away from it with lots of positives but a few things we need to improve on. 'It's all about building momentum for us and going into September in the best form. Performances are nice but ultimately winning is what is going to get us to the World Cup. 'It's frustrating to concede the way we did in the end but I think all in all, it was a positive performance against a top nation.' Smallbone had a chance to put Ireland further ahead but his shot from inside the penalty area was saved. But he was just happy to be back in a green shirt and said: 'The manager wants to create a winning habi. You see the way he talks about getting to the World Cup. It's obviously the aim for everyone. Winning is the only way we can get there. So it's about coming out on top in games.' Smallbone, quizzed on the differences between Hallgrimsson and his predecessor Stephen Kenny, said: 'It's been different. Obviously Stephen brought a lot of the lads through from 21s and Heimir has a different sort of tactic if you like. 'If you look at Irish teams in the past, they've always been built very big on set-pieces and making the Aviva a really tough place to come to. I think that's what we've to get back to.'

Jordan Pickford's England No.1 spot under greater threat than ever before as Thomas Tuchel issues warning
JORDAN PICKFORD has clung on to England's No.1 jersey without breaking sweat for seven years. But manager Thomas Tuchel — who officially took over on New Year's Day — warned that reputations are out the window in the build-up to next year's World Cup. 5 Everton star Jordan Pickford's No1 spot at England is at risk 5 England boss Thomas Tuchel is not afraid to make drastic changes ahead of the 2026 World Cup And that put 75-cap star That is despite claiming the Dean Henderson, fresh from helping Crystal Palace to their historic FA Cup win last month, has just two There are high hopes for Burnley youngster James Trafford, who has also spent the week at the Three Lions' training camp in Girona. Read More on England Southampton veteran Aaron Ramsdale — although not selected for this squad — is liked by But the 27-year-old needs to find a top-flight club in England or elsewhere following Saints' relegation. At Espanyol's RCDE Stadium on Saturday, the player in goal for Tuchel will be able to enjoy the sun without having to break sweat. But the German is expecting some fierce competition between the sticks, which was not the case under former manager Gareth Southgate. Most read in Football CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Tuchel said: 'It will always be a fight for every position and there is no exception for the goalkeepers. 'At the moment, Jordan is in a good place mentally and performance-wise. England boss Thomas Tuchel explains Ivan Toney recall 'It helped him to stabilise himself at Everton with the change of manager with David Moyes. 'He became very, very stable and also emotionally stable and we're very happy with that. 'Jordan has been in goal for a long, long time and he earned his place with consistent performances at a high level in international football. 'All three of our goalkeepers are not involved in European football. They're not used to European football, which would be ideal. It's not a problem, though. 'Jordan behaves and trains at the highest level and we're very, very happy with him. 'He's doing everything at the moment to keep his place because he feels Dean stepped up and found another level, another gear. Alternative goalkeeper options 'Dean got a big title with his club and was a key figure in the campaign, so that helped his confidence a lot.' And then there is 22-year-old Trafford, who kept 29 clean sheets in 45 matches as Burnley won promotion back to the Premier League. Tuchel added: 'James had a long, long break after his fantastic season with Burnley. 'He hasn't been on the pitch for four weeks, he finished the season the earliest. That's a little bit of a disadvantage for him, it's not his fault but he is pushing strongly. 'That's what we expect from him and he is at the moment a competitor for Dean Henderson and Jordan Pickford. 'Hopefully, he can prove himself next season and then the race is on.' Fitness challenges It is not ideal that England, who won their opening World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia in March, are in such a weak group. Andorra will be no trouble but the qualifier away to Serbia in September is a decent test, while there is also a Wembley friendly with Wales the following month. This week has seen Tuchel test his players on how they deal with the heat as the conditions will be baking-hot at the World Cup next year in the USA, Canada and Mexico. And he is trying to work out how his players can be at peak fitness, because he admits the squad were in their best shape during the mid-season 2022 World Cup. Tuchel said: 'The majority of our players play in the toughest league in the world and they are used to a kind of rhythm that is very unique. 'The tournaments are normally played after a long season and it is not maybe an advantage for us but it is just a fact. It is maybe not a coincidence players felt the most comfortable in the Qatar World Cup. 'Suddenly, the demands of the Premier League became an advantage because they were in the middle of it and felt they had an advantage over other players. 'It can be that at some point we need to adjust our style of play when it comes to tournament football and when it comes to knockout football. 'Everyone wants to win. Everyone wants to win in style. Can you really play the same game in 40C heat and humidity that you play in 20C in an evening match? 'So, these are some questions I don't have all the answers to and I don't have to right now, because we still have one year to go but we are on it to answer them.' 5 Crystal Palace star Dean Henderson will provide some stiff competition to Pickford at England 5 There are high hopes for Burnley star James Trafford at England 5 Southampton ace Aaron Ramsdale is liked by Tuchel despite not being selected
