READ ALSO: FAI Cup Round Two Draw Confirmed: Giant Killings On The Cards And Repeat of Last Year’s Final<\/a><\/p>\n The Ireland Team We Want To See vs Canada This formation is here to stay, so there’s no point straying from it here.<\/p>\n GK: Mark Travers With Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher not part of the squad for this game, Mark Travers is likely to start.<\/p>\n He could do with the minutes, having acted as a backup at Everton this season.<\/p>\n CB: Jake O’Brien<\/p>\n Jake O’Brien could probably do with a rest after a very busy season at Everton, but the fact he has been included in the squad suggests he will be involved in this game.<\/p>\n The Cork man has really nailed down his place in the team over the last 12 months and will be a key player for Ireland moving forward.<\/p>\n CB: Nathan Collins<\/p>\n Nathan Collins scored Ireland’s only goal against Qatar and will be aiming to end the season on a high in Montreal.<\/p>\n He is expect to captain the side in their final game of the season.<\/p>\n CB: James Abankwah<\/p>\n James Abankwah has looked impressive in the limited minutes he has played at international level up to this point. As a result, it would be good to get a look at him from the start in this fixture.<\/p>\n The Watford man has a big job on his hands to break into that back three, but he is still just 22-years old and has a long future in green ahead of him.<\/p>\n RWB: Seamus Coleman \n Recommended\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Having had hardly any football at club level this season, you get the sense Seamus Coleman would love to get another start under his belt in this fixture.<\/p>\n It looks likely that the 37-year old will continue his international career next season, although it remains to be seen where he will be playing his club football<\/a>.<\/p>\n CM: Conor Coventry<\/p>\n Conor Coventry made his first Ireland start in the game against Grenada last month and will be hoping to get more minutes under his belt in this game.<\/p>\n Now 26-years old, the Charlton Athletic star has struggled to nail down a place in the squad in recent seasons. The trip to Canada will be a good opportunity to show what he can offer in green moving forward.<\/p>\n CM: Jamie McGrath<\/p>\n Coming off the back of a strong season at Hibernian, Jamie McGrath put in a good performance in the win over Qatar last week.<\/p>\n The Meath man is another player who will look to stake his claim for a place in the squad after being in and out of the setup over the last few seasons.<\/p>\n LWB: Corrie Ndaba<\/p>\n Having made his debut with a cameo off the bench against Qatar, Corrie Ndaba could get an opportunity from the start in Canada.<\/p>\n The Dubliner has had quite the journey in his career, playing at a number of lower league clubs before moving to Scotland and then Italy last summer. His form in Serie A with Lecce suggests he could have quite a bit to offer Ireland moving forward.<\/p>\n FW: Chiedozie Ogbene Another player who could do with more minutes in the legs after a lack of opportunities at club level this season, Chiedozie Ogbene is likely to start once again in Canada.<\/p>\n The Cork man will then have to sort out his club future over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n FW: Jaden Umeh<\/p>\n After an eye-catching cameo against Qatar, it would be brilliant to see Jaden Umeh in from the start for this one.<\/p>\n The Benfica youngster looks like one of the most talented players Ireland have produced in quite some time and will hopefully have a huge future in green over the next decade or so.<\/p>\n ST: Troy Parrott<\/p>\n On the back of a career year at club and international level, Troy Parrott will look to cap off the season with another big display in this game.<\/p>\n It is likely to the striker’s last Ireland appearance as an AZ Alkmaar player, with a big move in the offing this summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n Team In Full This team has a good balance of youth and experience, with some exciting young players complimented by a number of established Ireland stars.<\/p>\n Here’s hoping for a good performance to finish off what has been an encouraging 12 months under Heimir Hallgrimsson.<\/p>\n
