Ireland face Andorra in Barcelona on June 3rd before taking on Hunary in Budapest on June 8th.

Midfielder McGrath is one player who could play a big role as Kenny looks for his first victory as Ireland manager.

McGrath scored 17 goals for St Mirren this season and a number of clubs are believed to be plotting a move for the 24-year-old.

Omobamidele, 18, played a key role in Norwich's promotion to the Premier League this season.
