Wes Hoolahan has been called up to the provisional Republic of Ireland squad to face Greece next month.

The Norwich City midfielder was the big addition to Giovanni Trapattoni's 26-man squad for the friendly at Lansdowne Road on 14 November.

The squad will be shortened to 23 players before meeting up in Dublin on November 11.

Trapattoni said: 'I have decided to choose a provisional 26-man squad for this game due to injury doubts over players. As we have a break from competitive games for a few months, I am using this fixture as an opportunity to try out new players and view their potential.'

Hoolahan made his one and only appearance for his country as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Columbia at Craven Cottage in May 2008.

• Squad: Westwood, Forde, Randolph, Coleman, O'Shea, O'Dea, Kelly, McShane, Ward, Duffy, Clark, Delaney, Andrews, McCarthy, Fahey, Meyler, Whelan, Clifford, Keogh, McGeady, McClean, Brady, Hoolahan, Doyle, Cox, Walters.
