Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny says keeper Darren Randolph will miss the opening World Cup qualifiers later this month because of injury.
Kenny told a fans' forum on Thursday night that the West Ham keeper's hip injury would keep him out of the games against Serbia and Luxembourg.
"Darren won't be fit to be selected for the camp," said Kenny.
The Republic boss is now hoping that Liverpool's Caoimhin Kelleher will recover from a stomach muscle injury.
"I've been speaking to Darren over the last few days and West Ham have shut him down at the moment," added Kenny.
