However, their PNE team-mate Sean Maguire has been forced to pull out of the squad with a minor hamstring strain.

Callum Robinson is not yet eligible to play full international football as he waits for his paperwork to come through - he played for England at four age levels but has switched his allegiance to the Irish.

Last Sunday, Robinson played for the Republic in a testimonial game against Celtic which didn't count as an international.

Ireland play France in Paris on Monday evening, before hosting the United States at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on June 2.
