Town loan midfielder Keith Andrews has been named in the Republic of Ireland starting line-up for their Euro 2012 qualifier against Russia in Moscow on Tuesday (Sky Sports Two/HD2 3.55pm). The match will be played at the Luzhniki where the Blues beat Torpedo Moscow in the UEFA Cup in 2001.
Andrews will win his 22nd full cap and will be looking for his third senior international goal.
Ex-Town loanee Darren O’Dea, now with Leeds, has been called into the side, while Damien Delaney will hope to win his sixth cap if named among the subs.
Also still away with international squads ahead of games on Tuesday are David Stockdale, who will again be on the bench when England face Wales at Wembley, Carlos Edwards with Trinidad and Tobago, who take on Barbados in Bridgetown, Jaime Peters, whose Canadian side are up against Puerto Rico, Josh Carson who is now with the Northern Ireland senior squad which is facing Estonia in Tallin, and Tamás Priskin, whose Hungarians are in Moldova.
Republic of Ireland: Shay Given, Stephen Kelly, Richard Dunne, Darren O'Dea, Stephen Ward, Damien Duff, Glenn Whelan, Keith Andrews, Aidan McGeady, Robbie Keane, Kevin Doyle.
