Leads United mildfielder Paul Green has come into the Republic of Ireland as a replacement for David Meyler. Hull's Meyler pulled out of Wednesday's friendly against Poland in Dublin because of a knee injury picked up in a Saturday's 1-0 win at Millwall.
.
Assistant coach Marco Tardelli said Everton's Darron Gibson had declined an offer to return for the Republic, but only because he was injured.
.
Aston Villa defender Claran Clark and West Brom stricker Shanne Long did not train in Malahide on Monday morning.
.
Tardelli said that both were rested. Clark with a minor knee injury and Long because he played the full 90 minutes of his club's 1-0 Barcalys Premier League defeat by Tottenham on Sunday.
Ireland is not taking that friendly lightly at all. Their opposition should better come prepared
