Compared to the first match between the national teams of Ireland and Ukraine - 0:1, which took place on June 8 in Dublin, the "Green Army" does not have four players, but there were two reinforcements. 

So, instead of goalkeeper James Talbot from "Bohemians" Stephen Kenny returned to his team Max O'Leary from "Bristol". Defenders Seamus Coleman of Everton, John Egan of Sheffield United and Shane Duffy of Brighton will be absent from the match in Lodz. The first is recovering from injury, the second has left the national team camp due to family circumstances, and the third will be disqualified due to a yellow card. 

Instead, the Irish coach called up defender Jimmy Dunn of Queens Park Rangers. The 24-year-old defender has twice been called up to the Irish national team, but has not yet made his debut.

It will be recalled that the match between the national teams of Ukraine and Ireland will start today at 21.45 pm Kyiv time.
