Norwich City striker Adam Idah has retained his place in Stephen Kenny’s Republic of Ireland squad.

Idah went onto start again against Teemu Pukki’s Finland just three days later - a game that ended in a 1-0 defeat.
Ireland are preparing for a crunch Euro 2020 playoff semi-final against Slovakia next Thursday in Bratislava.
Kenny will gather his troops in Dublin on Sunday and train at the FAI’s National Training Centre in Abbotstown before flying to Slovakia on Tuesday.
