Sean Maguire has been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's upcoming friendlies with France and the USA, but Shamrock Rovers man Graham Burke is in line to win a first full international cap after making Martin O'Neill's reduced panel.
Preston striker Maguire played in Scott Brown's testimonial at Parkhead last Sunday, but he will not travel to Paris for Monday night's game at Stade de France.

Newcastle defender Ciaran Clark is suffering a knee problem and will not be involved either.
Injuries also rule out goalkeepers Darren Randolph (groin), Keiren Westwood (groin), Kieran O'Hara (ankle), so Bohs stopper Shane Supple comes in.
It's a maiden call-up for the 31-year-old, with fellow keeper Conor O'Malley also getting a first nod along with Millwall midfielder Shaun Williams and forward Burke.
O'Malley, Williams and Burke featured for an Ireland XI in last week's testimonial against Celtic.
Both Supple and Burke will balance international duty with their club commitments to Bohs and Rovers, who clash in the Dublin derby at Dalymount Partk tomorrow night.
Another Preston attacker, Callum Robinson, who featured in the 2-2 draw in Glasgow, is waiting for his international clearance to come through.
John O'Shea will link up with the squad ahead of the USA game on Saturday week. The 37-year-old will make his last appearance for Ireland at the Aviva Stadium after 17 years' service.
