Trapattoni names Ireland pre-Euro 2012 squad

Giovanni Trapattoni has named Republic of Ireland's provisional squad for the Euro 2012, which will take place in Poland and Ukraine this summer.

Wigan Athletic's James McCarthy is the main highlight in terms of absences, as the player will not play at the Euros due to personal matters, but the veteran's manager 28-strong list is indeed filled with Premier League men.

Squad:

Goalkeepers: Shay Given, Keiren Westwood, David Forde;

Defenders: John O´Shea, Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger, Stephen Ward, Kevin Foley, Stephen Kelly, Darren O'Dea;

Midfielders: Keith Andrews, Glenn Whelan, Darron Gibson, Damien Duff, Aiden McGeady, Stephen Hunt, Keith Fahey, James McLean;

Attackers: Robbie Keane, Kevin Doyle, Simon Cox, John Walters, Shane Long;

Reserves: Darren Randolph, Paul McShane, Paul Green, Seamus Coleman, Andy Keogh.
