Caretaker manager of the Republic of Ireland Noel King will select a provisional squad on Monday for the World Cup qualifiers against Germany and Kazakhstan next month.
This extended squad will then be whittled down before they get together in Dublin.
King has a rallying call for the Boys in Green ” I believe in Ireland. The spirit and skills of the players – their never say die attitude. That’s the starting point” and has pinpointed the FIFA rankings as being key to Ireland.
And former international womens manager King plans to look at as many players as he can and take in plenty of games starting in the UK this week.
