The Republic of Ireland squad are continuing preparations for the opening Euro 2024 qualification match against 2018 World Cup winners France at the Aviva Stadium on Friday night. Manager Stephen Kenny named his squad last week for the tough assignment with Didier Deschamps outfit. A huge crowd is expected in Dublin to witness the game as Ireland attempt to reach the European Championship for the first time since 2016, where they were eliminated by Monday’s opposition in the last 16.
