Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill has included five new faces in his 30 man squad for the friendly with Turkey in Antalya, later this month. West Ham teenager Declan Rice is among those to receive a first call up although he has trained with the senior squad before. There are also call-ups for Sheffield United full-back Enda Stevens, Manchester United goalkeeper Kieran O’Hara and Blackburn Rovers pair Darragh Lenihan and Derrick Williams. Uncapped players Matt Doherty, Scott Hogan and Liam Kelly are also included while captain Seamus Coleman is back in the squad for the first time since he suffered a broken leg break against Wales last March.
