Republic of Ireland manager, Giovanni Trapattoni, has named a 28 man squad to take on Argentina in the first ever senior international to be held at the Aviva Stadium on August 11th.

The squad sees the return of Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given from injury and also the inclusion of eleven players who took part in Trapattoni's training camp in May.

The Italian believes that allowing The Boys in Green to pit their wits against Diego Maradonna's men, who crashed out in the quarter final of this summer's World Cup, will prepare them for the team's crucial European Championship qualifiers against Armenia and Andorra in September.

Squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Shay Given; Keiren Westwood, Joe Murphy

Defenders: John O’Shea; Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger, Greg Cunningham, Kevin Foley, Marc Wilson, Stephen Kelly, Paul McShane, Darren O’Dea, Kevin Kilbane

Midfielders: Keith Andrews; Glenn Whelan, Darron Gibson, Paul Green, Liam Lawrence, Aiden McGeady, Andy Keogh, Damien Duff, Keith Fahey, Keith Treacy

Forwards: Cillian Sheridan, Robbie Keane, Kevin Doyle, Caleb Folan, Shane Long
