Midfielder Coventry called up for Armenia match

Conor Coventry replaces the suspended Josh Cullen in the Republic of Ireland squad

Midfielder Conor Coventry has been called up by the Republic of Ireland for Tuesday's 2026 World Cup qualifier with Armenia.

Charlton Athletic's Coventry replaces Josh Cullen, who is suspended after collecting his second booking of the campaign in Saturday's dramatic 1-0 defeat by Portugal.

Heimir Hallgrimsson's side have one point from three matches and were stunned 2-1 by Armenia in the reverse fixture in September.

The Republic know they must win in Dublin on Tuesday to have any realistic chance of finishing in the top two in Group F.

It was initially hoped that Celtic defender Liam Scales would join the squad following a family bereavement, but he will also miss the qualifier with Armenia.

The Football Association of Ireland said is passed on its "deepest sympathies to Liam and his family at this difficult time".
