Ahead of Friday's friendly international with the Netherlands, Paul McShane, Anthony Pilkington, Alex Pearce and Jonny Hayes have been cut from Martin O'Neill's extended squad for Euro 2016. All four, however, will be on standby. The Irish manager is set to name his final 23-man squad for the summer tournament in France on Saturday next. Aiden McGeady was at today's training, prompting speculation that his loan move at Sheffield Wednesday may be over. The Owls are currently preparing for next Saturday's Championship play-off final against Hull City. 24 training with Ireland squad. McCarthy here but not training.
