NIALL QUINN is in line for a recall when Mick McCarthy names the Republic of Ireland squad this morning for the World Cup meeting with Liechtenstein at Lansdowne Road on May 21st.

Quinn, who made his last international appearance in the original leg of the Liechtenstein tie in August, was out of football for almost five months because of a damaged cruciate ligament. He has since made a successful return to Sunderland's team but was still left out of the squad for the game in Romania a fortnight ago.

Also in line for a recall is Curtis Fleming, who was withdrawn by Middlesbrough from the Romanian game. But it remains to be seen if his clubmate Alan Moore who is not due to resume full training until Monday, gets into the squad.
