Celtic pair Liam Scales and Mikey Johnston have been included in the Republic of Ireland squad to play Greece and Gibraltar in Euro 2024 qualifiers this month.
Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher misses out through injury with Max O'Leary coming into the squad to join his Bristol City team-mate Mark Sykes who has earned a recall to the squad for the two qualifiers.
James McClean has not been called up - he has announced his final game will be in the New Zealand friendly in November. Jeff Hendrick is also excluded.
Sheffield United defender John Egan misses out through injury as well as Cardiff City winger Callum O'Dowda
Kenny was at Celtic Park on Wednesday night to watch Scales in action against Lazio in the Champions League.
The Bhoys suffered a last-gasp 2-1 defeat, but ex-Shamrock Rovers and UCD man Scales acquitted himself extremely well.
He has a real chance of starting against the Greeks with Egan absent and Andrew Omobamidele out of favour at Nottingham Forest.
Johnston returns after a back injury saw him miss the games with France and Netherlands.
Callum Robinson has also been recalled with no place for Troy Parrott.
Ireland play Greece on Saturday 13 October in Dublin before travelling to face Gibraltar three days later.
