Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman has been named in Stephen Kenny's 26- man squad for the upcoming matches against England, Wales and Bulgaria.

The Everton defender missed all three international games in October with a hamstring injury and is yet to feature for the Toffees since suffering another hamstring injury in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool on October 17th.
