Heimir Hallgrímsson will have to plan without stalwart Seamus Coleman and forward Sammie Szmodics for Ireland's upcoming international double header.
The pair have withdrawn from the squad through injury, the FAI have confirmed, with Andrew Moran coming into the squad.
The Boys in Green take on Senegal on Friday, June 6 in Dublin and have a trip to Luxembourg for a game the following Tuesday, June 10.
Coleman lasted just 18 minutes of Everton men's final home game at Goodison Park, a win over Southampton. The Donegal native was making just his second appearance since St Stephen's Day but was forced off prematurely.
Szmodics featured in Ipswich Town's final top-flight game of the term, after a long injury layoff, but he's evidently not won his fitness fight.
