The Sunderland midfielder has yet to feature for Ireland since Trapattoni took charge in May.

Last month Trapattoni insisted that he had "no problem" with Reid, however, Reid has been left out with Trapattoni including uncapped Blackburn midfielder Keith Andrews.

Reid's exclusion will lead to renewed speculation that there is a rift between the former Charlton man and the manager.

Bolton's Joey O'Brien is also omitted for the clash on November 19.

Steve Finnan, who missed the World Cup qualifier against Cyprus because of injury, is again ruled out for the game and Stoke's Rory Delap does not earn a recall.

Republic of Ireland squad: Given (Newcastle), Kiely (West Brom), Murphy (Scunthorpe); McShane (Sunderland - on loan at Hull), O'Shea (Manchester United), Dunne (Manchester City), Kilbane (Wigan), Bruce (Ipswich), Delaney (QPR), Foley (Wolves); McGeady (Celtic), Andrews (Blackburn), Gibson (Manchester United), Whelan (Stoke), Duff (Newcastle), Hunt (Reading), Miller (Sunderland), Keogh (Wolves); Keane (Liverpool), Doyle (Reading), Stokes (Sheffield United), Caleb Folan (Hull), Long (Reading).
