Republic of Ireland manager Brian Kerr has confirmed four of the starters for tomorrow night's friendly international with Italy at Lansdowne Road.
Shay Given will start in goal with Richard Dunne at centre-back, Matt Holland in midfield and Clinton Morrison up front.
Graham Kavanagh has not recovered from his foot-injury and has returned to Wigan.
The 31-year-old has returned to his club and Kerr said: "It's not a very serious problem, but we felt it better he went back as a precaution."
