Ireland will be without defender Richard Keogh, midfielder James McCarthy and forward Sean Maguire for their World Cup playoff against Denmark which kicks off with the first leg on Saturday.
Keogh has a groin problem while McCarthy and Maguire are suffering with hamstring strains, the Football Association of Ireland said on its website (www.fai.ie) on Monday.
The trio were in a provisional 34-man squad named by Martin O’Neill last month for the two legs starting at Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium before the return in Dublin three days later.
Keogh came off early in Derby County’s defeat by Reading in the Championship on Saturday, with Everton’s McCarthy sidelined since making his only club appearance this season on Oct. 25.
However. O’Neill is hoping Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick will be fit for the first leg after he suffered a glute injury against Southampton in their Premier League game on Saturday.
“Jeff came off after about 60 odd minutes, he was having a bit of a problem and he’s still a little bit sore at the moment,” O’Neill told a news conference.
“He’s said he’s improving so that’s good news. If the game was tomorrow morning he might struggle but he’s pretty hopeful and the medical team are hopeful.”
O’Neill cut David McGoldrick, Jonny Hayes, Daryl Horgan and Alan Browne from a squad now numbering 27 including David Meyler who will be available for the second leg after suspension.
There was no call up for Burnley striker Jonathan Walters, who was left out of the original squad after missing the final two games of the campaign and still has a knee problem.
Fullback Seamus Coleman is a long-term absentee after breaking his leg on international duty in March.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of
hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
I am curious to find out what blog platform you are using?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest blog and I would like to find something
more risk-free. Do you have any solutions?
Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!
Outstanding post but I was wanting to know if you could
write a litte more on this subject? I’d
be very thankful if you could elaborate a little bit further.
Many thanks!
