Seamus Coleman and Sammie Szmodics have been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's friendlies against Senegal and Luxembourg next month because of injury.
Defender Coleman endured an injury-hit 2024-25 campaign and missed Everton's Premier League victory over Newcastle last weekend with a thigh issue after being forced off against Southampton earlier this month.
The 36-year-old's fitness issues have restricted him to just five Premier League appearances for the Toffees this term.
Szmodics made a late appearance off the bench in Ipswich's defeat by West Ham as he returned from a three-month absence following ankle surgery.
With Szmodics out, Brighton midfielder Andrew Moran has been drafted into head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad.
Moran, 21, spent last season on loan at Stoke and has two caps for the Republic of Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland face Senegal at Aviva Stadium in Dublin on 6 June before an away game against Luxembourg four days later.
