Harry Arter left out of Republic of Ireland squad

The biggest talking point from Martin O'Neill's squad was the omission of Cardiff City midfielder Harry Arter.

Arter is not included after stories have emerged of an alleged bust-up with assistant manager Roy Keane.

Injuries ruled out James McCarthy (leg), Robbie Brady (ankle), Scott Hogan (groin), Sean Maguire (hamstring) and Shane Long (foot) from the UEFA Nations League double header.
