West Ham goalkeeper Stephen Henderson has replaced Keiren Westwood in the Republic of Ireland squad for Tuesday's friendly against Oman at Craven Cottage.
As revealed by skysports.com over the weekend, Henderson was given a late call for the friendly with Oman.
Westwood started in Friday's 2-1 win over Kazakhstan but has been allowed to return to Sunderland early as Giovanni Trapattoni looks to name an experimental line-up for the game in London.
Henderson, back-up to Jussi Jaaskelainen at Upton Park, has not won an international cap for the Republic but was named on the bench for February's friendly draw against Czech Republic.
Trapattoni confirmed on Sunday that Millwall shot-stopper David Forde will start in goal so 24-year-old Henderson is likely to be among the substitutes. Trapattoni also has Motherwell keeper Darren Randolph available to him.
