Central defender Damien Delaney has been added to the Republic of Ireland squad facing Serbia in a friendly on Wednesday. As a result, the 31-year-old will miss Tuesday’s Capital One Cup first round tie at home to Bristol Rovers.

The Cork-born defender, who has previously won five full caps, joined up with the Irish squad today after Stoke’s Marc Wilson dropped out.

The Blues will also be without Josh Carson and Ronan Murray for Tuesday’s game against the Pirates.

babyblue added 07:27 - Aug 13 Bonus, if Delaney is being offered as available as reported then this means Jewell will be forced to put the likes of Joe Whight on the bench as Delaney is away and can only be good for the future re blooding/giving experience

Lennyboy added 09:44 - Aug 13 I believe by leaving him out for tomorrow nights cup game, would make him more appealing to prospective buyers in the fact he would not be cup tied. This call up for his country came just at the right time. Just a thought.

GenericIpswichMan added 13:40 - Aug 13 To be fair I dont think he would have started anyway. Good opportunity for Smith and Chambers to get to know each other better without any real pressure being put on them. Shame about Carson, feel this will be a make-or-break season for him.

WickedBlue added 14:32 - Aug 13 Morons on here are unbelievable. A man gets added to an international squad and you put him down. I would like to see you lot actually write down what you know about football and it wouldn't fill a postcard and that is with all of you sharing the post card. Truely we have some of the most idiotic fans there are!
