“I will make my list public in the first week of March, about three weeks’ notice to the clubs, so I am still observing the players and monitoring them,” Rohr told aoifootball.

“I’m still considering new names because of the recent injuries though most of the players are back on their feet, we will see as time progresses,” he concluded.
