Conor Hourihane has pulled out of the Irish squad for the upcoming internationals against Serbia, Luxembourg and Qatar having originally been named in the squad.

The Swans midfielder, who is on loan from Aston Villa, was forced off in yesterday’s 1-0 defeat against Cardiff City at the Liberty.

The full extent of the injury has not yet been reported but the FAI confirmed this afternoon that Hourihane is one of four players who have pulled out of the squad scheduled to train tomorrow morning before flying to Belgrade, Serbia ahead of Wednesday’s qualifier.

Burnley defender Kevin Long, Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and Bristol City winger Callum O’Dowda have also all been ruled out.

Blackburn defender Darragh Lenihan has been called up and West Ham midfielder Conor Coventry has been promoted from the U-21 squad, his first senior international call-up.

The Swans Ryan Manning is also in the squad and has joined up with his international team mates.
