Ireland manager Martin O’Neill has unveiled his starting side for tonight’s World Cup qualifier against Georgia.
As expected, James McCarthy recovered from his groin injury to start in midfield.
The big selection decision by O’Neill is at the heart of his defence where Shane Duffy and Ciaran Clark have been named as the starting centre-halves.
The pair will be flanked by team captain Seamus Coleman and Stephen Ward with Darren Randolph in goals.
McCarthy is joined in midfield by Jeff Hendrick, James McClean and Robbie Brady.
Jonathan Walters and Shane Long will lead the line.
