Martin O'Neill has said that he will not chase Mark Noble as he revealed the latest Ireland squad for next month's Euro qualifiers with Gibraltar and world champions, Germany.
There is no place in the 37-man provisional squad for the West Ham midfielder who has yet to declare for Ireland.
O'Neill said that he had not spoken to the English-born player, adding that he "won’t be chasing him."
"I’m not going to chase that particular one," he said.
The extended squad contains Connor Sammon, who scored for Ipswich last night, while fellow striker Anthony Stokes is also included despite his impending trial for assault.
David Forde and Shay Given are just two of five goalkeepers named today.
The squad will be trimmed before they convene on October 7th.
Ireland play Gibraltar at the Aviva on October 11th before travelling to Gelsenkirchen three days later where they will take on Germany.
