McCarthy ruled out of Gibraltar clash

Everton midielder James McCarthy has been left out of Martin O'Neill's 27-man Republic of Ireland squad to play Gibraltar in the Euro 2016 qualifiers due to a persistent a thigh injury.

However, the 23-year-old will be monitored over the coming week and might be considered for the Germany game on Tuesday week if his condition improves.

McCarthy's club-mate Seamus Coleman is fit to play after recovering from a concussion.

The Everton duo missed out on their club's midweek European trip to face FC Krasnodar in south-west Russia but manager Roberto Martinez was confident that both players would be back to full fitness imminently.

Martinez said: "James has got a tightening of his quad. He has played a lot of football and he is feeling a bit fatigued. It's not a real injury and I am not concerned by that.

"Seamus Coleman had concussion against Wolfsburg but then he suffered a little bit of a soft tissue problem. I don't think it will be too long [before he is fully fit].

Ipswich striker Daryl Murphy is retained up front at the expense of team-mate Conor Sammon and Reading's Simon Cox.

Goalkeeper Darron Randolph and defenders Stephen Kelly, Paul McShane, Damien Delaney and Shane Duffy have all been cut from the squad.

Midfielders Andy Reid and Paul Green, and forwards Cox and Sammon have also failed to make the final 27-man squad but will remain on standby.

Ireland face Gibraltar at Aviva Stadium on Saturday 11 October before travelling to play group favourites Germany in Gelsenkirchen on Tuesday 14 October.
