Dons midfielder Stephen Gleeson has again been included in the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad for their Euro Championship Qualification double-header this month.

Don Givens' side will host Georgia in Dublin on Friday 9th October before travelling to Waterford to host Switzerland four days later.

The call-up will see Stephen miss the Dons' home game against Walsall on Saturday 10th October, but he should return for the visit of Gillingham a week later.

Along with Ipswich Town's Owen Garvan, Gleeson is the most-capped member of Givens' squad and stands to make his 12th and 13th Under-21 appearances if selected for the two games. The first of the two qualifiers will take place in the Dons midfielder's home town of Tallaght.

The Irish are without a win from their two UEFA Under-21 European Championship qualifiers, having been humbled 3-0 by Turkey at home back in March and only managed a draw from the September trip to Estonia.

Squad in full: James Berrett (Huddersfield Town), Seamus Coleman (Everton), James Collins (Aston Villa), Seamus Connelly (Galway United), Darren Dennehy (Hereford United), Owen Garvan (Ipswich Town), Stephen Gleeson (MK Dons), Gavin Gunning (Blackburn Rovers), Stephen Henderson (Bristol City), Cian Hughton (Lincoln City), Alan Judge (Plymouth Argyle), James McCarthy (Wigan Athletic), Brendan Moloney (Notts County), Callum Morris (Newcastle United), Jay O'Shea (Birmingham City), Shane Redmond (Burton Albion), Cillian Sheridan (Plymouth Argyle).
