Republic of Ireland under-21 manager Don Givens has been forced to reshuffle his squad for Friday's Euro 2004 qualifier against Switzerland in Neuchatel.

Stockport County's Jonathon Daly is ruled out with a knee injury and his place in the squad goes to Adrian Deane of Charlton Athletic. Daly has endured a miserable run on the sidelines with an ankle injury having kept him out since the summer.

It is the first time Deane has been called into the under-21 squad and he will be looking to impress under-20 manager Gerry Smith ahead of next month's World Youth Championships in the United Arab Emirates.
