Eunan O'Kane has withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland squad to play France and USA, with Alan Judge replacing him.

O'Kane has pulled out with a shoulder problem so it means a return for Judge who missed over a year of football due to a double compound fracture to his leg while playing for Brentford.

He started a game for the first time since the injury last month. 

Shane Supple and Graham Burke are on club duty with Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers tonight and will meet back up with the squad tomorrow.
