Liverpool goalkeeper Caiomhin Kelleher will make his first senior start for the Republic of Ireland against Qatar on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old made his debut as a substitute against Hungary in June.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, manager Stephen Kenny said: "Caoimhin is a really natural goalkeeper. He's such a terrific talent. He played 10 times for me as U21s manager, so I'm well aware of his qualities and he's done terrifically.
"He was just unfortunate last season when he was injured and that opened the door in March for Gavin Bazunu, who's been terrific.
"Caoimhin made his debut at half-time in the game against Hungary, but this is his first start tomorrow and in front of a home crowd, and he deserves it."
