Ireland handed boost as captain Seamus Coleman returns to squad for England friendly and Nations League clashes after injury lay-off

Skipper Seamus Coleman is back in the Republic of Ireland squad for the friendly against England and the Nations League clashes with Wales and Bulgaria.

The Everton full back missed last month's Euro 2020 play-off semi-final defeat in Slovakia and the fixtures against Wales and Finland which followed it with a hamstring injury which he aggravated on his return in the 2-2 derby draw with Liverpool on October 17.

However, the 32-year-old has been included in manager Stephen Kenny's 26-man squad for the games against England at Wembley on November 12, Wales in Cardiff three days later and Bulgaria in Dublin on November 18.
