Town defender Dara O’Shea remains a doubt for the Republic of Ireland ahead of Thursday’s penultimate UEFA Nations League game against Finland at the Aviva Stadium.
O’Shea, who has been operating at right-back for Ireland this season rather than his preferred centre-half role, has an ongoing back issue which Blues boss Kieran McKenna said last week he would be managing for a while.
New Irish manager, Icelander Heimir Hallgrímsson, says O’Shea and Watford winger Festy Ebosele are both doubts ahead of the game against the Finns.
"Eight of our players had games on Sunday, so this is the only training session where everybody is physically ready,” Hallgrímsson said.
"Dara has been struggling with a back injury and Festy was taken off, so whether they can complete a 90-minute match, we’ll see after [Wednesday] training.”
Town’s Sammie Szmodics is also in the Irish squad and has said he is hoping to score his first international goal during the games against the Finns and then England at Wembley on Sunday.
