The Irishman trained regularly with the group and is a candidate for a starting spot in the Europa League match against Stuttgart, Matchday 7.
Gasperini will be without Donyell Malen against the Germans.
The Dutchman, the key player in last night’s win, is ineligible for a call-up: UEFA regulations allow changes to the squad only at the end of the Europa League domestic phase.
