Republic of Ireland's friendly against Andorra has been moved from the Estadi Johan Cruyff in Barcelona and the 3 June fixture will instead take place at the Estadi Nacional in Andorra, with kick-off at 5pm Irish time.

The decision to change venues is due to the reduction of travel restrictions to the country.

The match had originally been fixed for the Estadi Nacional, before being moved last week after Andorra was placed on the list of nations from which travellers are subject to mandatory hotel quarantine when arriving in Ireland.

Ireland will then face Hungary in Budapest at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion in another friendly match on 8 June.

Ireland manager Stephen Kenny named his squad for the two matches on Monday, with Shamrock Rovers midfielder Danny Mandroiu, Norwich City defender Andrew Omobamidele, Rotherham's Chiedozie Ogbene and Jamie McGrath of St Mirren the new faces called up.
