Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has called up Troy Parrott and four goalkeepers for the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches against Serbia, Luxembourg and Qatar.

Forward Troy Parrott, currently on loan at Ipswich Town, has been included in the senior squad for the first time under Kenny and there is also a first senior call-up for goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu.

Kenny has named four goalkeepers in the squad as an update on Caoimhin Kelleher's fitness is required before the players report for duty on Sunday.
