Town striker David McGoldrick is a doubt ahead of the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup qualifier against Austria in Dublin on Sunday.

The 29-year-old, who has won six full caps so far without scoring an international goal, missed training this morning due to a problem behind his knee and Ireland manager Martin O'Neill is waiting on the results of a scan.

“David has had a niggle behind his knee which has come on a little bit,” O'Neill said. “It is niggly and we are a bit concerned about it.”

McGoldrick played the full 90 minutes of Thursday's 3-1 friendly defeat to Mexico in the US but was an unused sub in Sunday's 3-1 home victory over Uruguay.

dirtydingusmagee added 14:17 - Jun 6 don't think anyone will be surprised by this news ,we have had one good season out of him and then a series of setbacks, no disrespect to him ,but he has to be regarded as a ''passenger '' in the squad , his fitness cannot be relied upon . As usual nothing much happening by way of strengthening the squad, the likelihood of a stronger team being put together prior to start of season is minimal, and the fact we still have Mc Carthy as ''manager'' does not bode well . I could end up eating my words, but I think it will be same old same old .

rendoblue added 17:49 - Jun 6 David McGoldrick, the most advertised itfc footballer on social media without ever playing football. We need to move forward and free up these types of wages for decent reliable players who can take the club forward.
