Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given has been ruled out of Sunday's crucial Group D showdown against Poland.
The Stoke City shot-stopper was stretchered off the field with a knee injury during Ireland's 1-0 victory over Germany on Thursday night.
The Football Association of Ireland has now confirmed that Given has returned to the Britannia and will be replaced by Newcastle United goalkeeper Rob Elliot.
A statement read: "Rob Elliot has been called up to the Republic of Ireland squad for the UEFA 2016 European Championship qualifying game against Poland in Warsaw on Sunday, October 11.
"The Newcastle United goalkeeper comes in as a replacement for Shay Given, who suffered a knee injury in the 1-0 victory over Germany and will report back to his club for further assessment."
Martin O'Neill's side are currently third in the table on the same points as second-placed Poland, meaning that the winner will finish in the top two qualifying spots.
