MARTIN O'Neill has named a provisional 39-man squad for Republic of Ireland's UEFA 2016 European Championship Qualifying play-off against Bosnia & Herzegovina.
The first-leg takes place in Stadion Bilino Pole, Zenica on Friday, November 13, and the second-leg in Aviva Stadium, Dublin on Monday, November 16.
The squad will be shortened on November 9, but Shay Given is a welcome name on the initial list having recovered from the injury which forced him off during the 1-0 win over Germany.
Speaking at Wednesday’s press conference in FAI HQ, Ireland manager O'Neill said: "After finishing third in a difficult qualifying group, we enter into the play-offs against a very good team in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
“Our fate is in our own hands and we will be doing all that we can to qualify for next summer's finals.
"We will play the second leg at the Aviva Stadium and that is a big plus for us because the Irish supporters were fantastic in our last game there against Germany and we know that there will be a similar atmosphere for this play-off."
