Robbie Brady has been released from the squad following concussion suffered in the 1-0 win over Georgia on Thursday, October 6. Brady spent the night in hospital and underwent a precautionary scan, but he has been cleared by the FAI medical staff.

Midfielder Jeff Hendrick is suspended for Sunday's Group D game in Chisinau, but has travelled with the squad. There is no reaction to the knock that Shane Long received against Georgia and he is expected to train on Saturday.
