The Boys In Green take on Switzerland in a Good Friday friendly at the Aviva. It’s the first step as O’Neill ramps up his preparations for Euro 2016 this summer.

Jeff Hendrick, Harry Arter, Anthony Pilkington, Robbie Keane and Jon Walters will all miss the match through injury, which gives some of the players on the periphery of the squad an opportunity to make an impact before Martin O’Neill makes his decision on the chosen 30 for the tournament.
