Poor Sean Maguire.
There was so much hype surrounding the fact that Sean Maguire made the provisional squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
Yet, he is no more. Cut from the final squad to face Georgia and Serbia.
Instead, Jonathan Walters, Shane Long, Daryl Murphy and David McGoldrick get the nod in the forward line.
James McCarthy, Jeff Hendrick, Eunan O’Kane all miss out through injury but the previously mentioned Jonathan Walters as well as David Meyler and Kieren Westwood have also battled through injuries to make the squad.
Here’s the full squad.
Goalkeepers: Darren Randolph (Middlesbrough), Rob Elliot (Newcastle United), Keiren Westwood (Sheffield Wednesday)
Defenders: Cyrus Christie (Middlesbrough), Richard Keogh (Derby County), Shane Duffy (Brighton & Hove Albion), Ciaran Clark (Newcastle United), John O’Shea (Sunderland), Kevin Long, Stephen Ward (Burnley)
Midfielders: Aiden McGeady (Sunderland), Glenn Whelan, Conor Hourihane (Aston Villa), Harry Arter (Bournemouth), David Meyler (Hull City), Robbie Brady (Burnley), Wes Hoolahan (Norwich City), James McClean (West Bromwich Albion), Daryl Horgan (Preston North End), Jonathan Hayes (Celtic), Callum O’Dowda (Bristol City)
Forwards: Jonathan Walters (Burnley), Shane Long (Southampton), Daryl Murphy (Nottingham Forest), David McGoldrick (Ipswich Town)
