Everton midfielder Darron Gibson hopes his injury woes are past him.
The 26-year-old made his first appearance for club or country in more than 10 months in Ireland's 2-0 friendly victory over Oman last month following a grueling fightback from a cruciate ligament problem.
Gibson said: "I played in the European game during the week and I felt physically strong, so I think I am ready. Hopefully I do get the chance and I do have an influence so I can play on Tuesday.
"I think any player enjoys playing in games like that. They are some of the best players in the world, so it's good to see how you fare against them.
"Obviously, the first few games I played, it was just about getting minutes under my belt. But I think I am ready to play properly now, I think I am match-fit and ready to go.
"It's been all right. It's been a bit frustrating not playing in the Premier League, but I have got two games in in the last two and a half weeks, so I'm happy enough coming into this week."
