Stoke City midfielder Bosun Lawal has been added to the Republic of Ireland squad to play Luxembourg on Tuesday.

The now 24-player group will train this morning before heading to Luxembourg later today.

Lawal, 22, has been troubled with injuries throughout the year and was restricted to just seven appearances in the Championship.

The former Bohemians and Celtic youngster is highly rated having played 12 times at Under-21 level for Ireland.

Several changes are expected for the game in Luxembourg after the 1-1 draw with Senegal on Friday night.

Killian Phillips made his debut from the bench, while Kasey McAteer scored his first goal for the Boys in Green.

Shamrock Rovers' defender Josh Honohan, Stade Reims midfielder John Joe Patrick Finn and goalkeepers Max O’Leary and Josh Keeley could make their first appearances in the green shirt in the final friendly on the window.
