Striker Shane Long has been ruled out of the match with injury. In a game that requires goals, Ireland will be without one the top marksmen in their squad.
Long sat out training with a dead leg twice last week but was fit enough to start against Moldova before being replaced by Sean Maguire in the 82nd minute.
Daryl Murphy, who bagged a brace against group whipping boys Moldova on Friday is likely to get the nod up front, while Long's absence could open the door for Maguire or Scott Hogan to make a serious impact on the game.Explore more on these topics:
