Shane Duffy is backing Caoimhín Kelleher to continue where Gavin Bazunu left off after Ireland's first-choice goalkeeper was ruled out of the friendly clashes with Belgium and Lithuania through illness.
With Bournemouth's Mark Travers already departed from the Ireland camp due to injury, the way is clear for 23-year-old Liverpool stopper Kelleher to start on Saturday and Tuesday at the Aviva Stadium.
Stephen Kenny drafted in Bohemians netminder James Talbot yesterday and today added Bristol City's Max O'Leary to the squad as cover for Kelleher, who has two senior caps.
