STEPHEN KENNY HAS included Adam Idah and Will Smallbone in his starting team to face Greece in tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Athens.
Idah starts up front alongside Evan Ferguson, with Smallbone replacing Jason Knight in midfield. The other significant selection is Darragh Lenihan, who is picked over Dara O’Shea, who has not played since March.
Otherwise, Gavin Bazunu continues in goal, with Matt Doherty and Callum O’Dowda at wing-back. Nathan Collins and John Egan complete a back three with Lenihan.
Josh Cullen and Jayson Molumby are alongside Smallbone in midfield.
Liam Scales and Jack Taylor have been omitted from the matchday squad.
