Sheffield United: Four Blades make final Republic of Ireland squad for Euro qualifiers

John Egan, Enda Stevens, David McGoldrick and Callum Robinson have all been named in the squad for the qualifiers with Switzerland (September 5) and Bulgaria (September 10) in Dublin.

McCarthy had named a 40-man provisional squad earlier this month and all four United players on the list made the final cut.

Egan is looking to win his fifth cap – and his first in competitive action – having last appeared in a friendly against Northern Ireland last November.

Stevens has featured in each of the four qualifiers played so far by McCarthy’s side having become an established player over the last 12 months.

McGoldrick also started each of the four previous qualifiers and is still chasing his first goal for the Republic of Ireland.

Robinson is chasing his seventh cap for his country and has yet to net his first goal. He started the last qualifier – a 2-0 win over Gibraltar.
