The duo were left out of the previous squad after missing the end of last season.
Lucas Hernandez has started all three games so far in this campaign for his new club Paris St Germain.
He did not play again at the tournament as a result, or for Bayern Munich in the second half of last season, but moved to PSG in July for a reported €40 million and has started all three games so far in this campaign for his new club. Ireland have just three points from three games and a French win will leave the World Cup runners-up on the brink of securing a place at next year’s finals in Germany.
Among the players missing from the squad are Christopher Nkunku and Wesley Fofana, with the Chelsea duo both currently sidelined with knee injuries.
