Yahoo Sports Coleman returns to Republic of Ireland squad
Fit-again captain Seamus Coleman has been named in Republic of Ireland squad for the upcoming Nations League matches with Finland and England.
The 36-year-old missed the October games against Finland and Greece after suffering a leg injury in the 2-0 defeat by England in September.
Norwich defender Shane Duffy is also recalled to Heimir Hallgrimsson's squad and joins returning Stoke striker Tom Cannon, but there is still no place for Wolves' Matt Doherty.
Midfielder Andy Moran has earned a first senior call-up while Luton Town defender Mark McGuinness, who is yet to make his international debut, retains his place after missing the games in October through injury.
Robbie Brady, Andrew Omobamidele, Chiedozie Ogbene, Jack Taylor and Will Smallbone are all out injured for the crucial double-header.
Hallgrimsson's side are third in League B Group 2 and go into their final group games knowing that they will either be relegated from League B or have to face a relegation/promotion play-off in 2025.
