Aston Villa goalkeeper Shay Given has rejected rumours that he demanded to be included in the Republic of Ireland squad.
The 38-year-old was named in the 27-man party by manager Martin O'Neill, despite his lack of first-team football at Villa Park.
Ireland will take on Oman in a friendly in Dublin tomorrow before heading to Tbilisi to play Georgia in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Sunday.
"There are no guarantees," The Express quotes Given as saying. "There are no demands from me. I read somewhere that I demanded to play - that's all rubbish.
"I am here to try help the group and try to get us qualified. We have some very tough games coming up. Hopefully I can do that."
Given, who has 125 senior international caps to his name, previously suggested that he was considering international retirement.
