Ireland Soccer Squad for 2023: All You Need to Know

Who's in the Squad?

Manager Stephen Kenny has named a 23-man squad for Ireland's upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Ukraine and Scotland.

The squad includes several key players, such as captain Seamus Coleman, goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, and midfielders Josh Cullen and Jeff Hendrick.

However, there are a few notable absentees from the squad.

Midfielder James McClean has been dropped due to a lack of playing time at club level.
Defender Matt Doherty is also missing due to injury.
Striker Shane Long has retired from international football.

Ireland's first match is against Ukraine on June 4th in Dublin.

They then travel to Glasgow to face Scotland on June 11th.

Ireland are currently bottom of their Nations League group, so these matches are crucial if they want to avoid relegation.

A win against Ukraine would give them a major boost in their fight for survival.
