The Newcastle United striker travelled to Dublin to meet up with his international colleagues ahead of World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Moldova.
But Murphy, signed from Ipswich Town this summer, has had to return to Tyneside for treatment.
The 33-year-old – who scored on his last appearance for his country – has a calf problem, according to coach Martin O'Neill.
