Reading midfielder Jeff Hendrick has been selected for the Republic of Ireland's two European Championship qualifiers.

The Newcastle United loanee has been an ever-present under Paul Ince, featuring 37 times this season and scoring four goals.

France and Latvia are Stephen Kelly's opponents this month as the Boys in Green look to qualify for Euro 2024 hosted in Germany.

With 77 caps to his name, Hendrick has spent over a decade in the national team set up.

Still 10 caps behind Royals favourite Shane Long on 88, only six Irishmen have won over 100 caps- including former Reading defender and coach John O'Shea.

Ian Harte and Kevin Doyle both earned over 60 caps for their country.

Striker Lucas Joao has also been called up by his national team, Angola, for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Looking to stop a run of four straight wins, Hul City stand between Paul Ince's side and the international break.
