Kelly and O'Dea out of Republic's Euro 2012 qualifiers

Donegal lad Seamus Coleman earns his first senior call-up

Stephen Kelly and Darren O'Dea are out of the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Russia and Slovakia.

Fulham defender Kelly is forced out by a calf injury while Celtic defender O'Dea, who is currently on loan at Ipswich, has a knee problem.

The withdrawals mean that uncapped Everton defender Seamus Coleman has been handed his first call-up.

Keith Treacy and Cillian Sheridan have also been put on stand-by by manager Giovanni Trapattoni.

Both were included in the original squad last week which now has been reduced.

The Republic top Group B on goal difference from Slovakia while Russia lie third.

Republic take on Russia at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on 8 October before travelling to Zililina for the Slovakia qualifier four days later.
