The Republic of Ireland squad will hold their first training session under interim manager Noel King later this afternoon.

The likes of Darron Gibson, Andy Reid and Anthony Stokes are all back in the Ireland camp after King promised to wipe the slate clean from the Giovanni Trapattoni regime.

Newcastle goalkeeper Rob Elliot and Bournemouth's Stephen Henderson are also part of the Ireland squad for the first time after they received call-ups over the weekend following the withdrawal of both Darren Randolph and Kieran Westwood.
