Ireland recalls for Doyle, Reid and Stokes

Darron Gibson, Anthony Stokes, Kevin Doyle and Andy Reid have all been included in Noel King's Ireland squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Interim boss King today included the trio in a provisional 26-man party for next month's World Cup qualifiers against Germany and Kazakhstan.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Reid has not figured in the squad since the early days of Trapattoni's reign after an incident at the team hotel following a qualifying victory over Georgia in the German city of Mainz in September 2008, while Stokes too has been conspicuous by his absence in recent seasons despite his exploits with Celtic.

However, Gibson's exile has been self-imposed following Trapattoni's decision to leave him sitting on the bench for the entire Euro 2012 finals campaign in Poland.

The Everton midfielder revealed earlier this month that he would make himself available for selection once again following the 74-year-old Italian's departure.

Trapattoni lost his job after five and a half years following defeats to Sweden and Austria all but ended Ireland's hopes of making it to next summer's finals in Brazil.

Defenders Richard Dunne and John O'Shea, who are suspended for the game in Cologne on 11 October, will return to the squad for the clash with the Kazakhs in Dublin four days later.

There is also a return for Wolves striker Kevin Doyle who had lost his place in the squad during the final stages of the Trapattoni era after his club dropped down to League One.

However but there are no places for Trapattoni stalwarts Darren O'Dea, David Meyler, Simon Cox or Conor Sammon.

King also confirmed that he has been in contact with Stephen Ireland's camp and that the Stoke midfielder feels he is not ready to return to the set-up at the moment but indicated that he would like to return at some stage.

Robbie Brady and Jon Walters have been included but are having scans today and may be forced to withdraw due to injury.

King confirmed that a 23-man panel will travel to Germany and there are no plans to call up any other players in the event that Brady and Walters withdraw.

Ireland squad to face Germany and Kazakhstan in the upcoming World Cup Europe Group C qualifiers:
David Forde (Millwall), Keiren Westwood (Sunderland), Darren Randolph (Birmingham), Joey O'Brien (West Ham), Sean St Ledger (Leicester), Marc Wilson (Stoke), Seamus Coleman (Everton), Stephen Kelly (Reading), Ciaran Clark (Aston Villa), Paul McShane (Hull), Darron Gibson (Everton), Glenn Whelan (Stoke), James McCarthy (Everton), Paul Green (Leeds), Andy Reid (Nottingham Forest), Aiden McGeady (Spartak Moscow), Anthony Pilkington (Norwich), James McClean (Wigan), Robbie Brady, Stephen Quinn (both Hull), Wes Hoolahan (Norwich), Shane Long (West Brom), Robbie Keane (Los Angeles Galaxy), Jon Walters (Stoke), Kevin Doyle (Wolves), Anthony Stokes (Celtic).
