Gavin Bazunu trained with his Republic of Ireland team-mates this afternoon as he looks set to be part of the squad for Thursday's UEFA Nations League game against Austria.
Bazunu opted out of the squad for last weekend's fixture with Israel, stressing his belief that he felt it was wrong to play due to the atrocities in the region.
Manager Heimir Hallgrimsson said he was happy to give the Bolton Wanderers goalkeeper a preference on whether to skip the rest of the window or return for the Austria game.
The goalkeeper took part in today's session at Aviva Stadium, indicating he will be in Thursday's squad.
A replacement goalkeeper will need to be called up for the second Israel game under UEFA rules, with the Irish manager saying a repeat of defender Jimmy Dunne being chosen as third goalkeeper was unlikely.
Elsewhere midfielder Bosun Lawal has joined up with the squad and also trained today.
Lawal was called into the squad by Hallgrimsson and will give the manager options ahead of Thursday as well as Sunday's game with Israel.
The 23-year-old hasn't played for his club Stoke City since coming off holding his hamstring in the 4-0 victory over Charlton earlier this month, missing out on the games against Cardiff, Stoke and Sheffield United.
"He is injured," Hallgrimsson said at a press conference earlier this month.
"We rate him so highly that we feel it is necessary that we have him around the squad."
The FAI confirmed this afternoon that the player, "joined up with the Ireland squad in Dublin after completing his rehabilitation from injury with Stoke City."
Lawal has one senior cap, having coming off the bench in March's scoreless draw with North Macedonia at the Aviva Stadium.
The Boys in Green have three points from their first two games in the Nations League, losing 1-0 to Kosovo before beating Israel 3-0 on Sunday.
