Heimir Hallgrímsson still searching for first win as Republic of Ireland manager
Defender Matt Doherty has been omitted from the 24-man squad set to face Finland and Greece in the Nations League next week. Photograph: Ryan Byrne/InphoDoherty, capped 46 times since 2018, was widely criticised for his performances last month against England and Greece at the Aviva Stadium. Ireland lost both ties 2-0.
“Because of his experience as well, not to bring him in to have him on the bench. It’s better just to give him this camp off.” “Mark McGuinness is centre back at Luton. He has been playing really well this season, aerially dominant and really a set-piece threat and also a good range of passing, and he’s been really impressive for Luton.”
Hallgrímsson spent several days last week travelling across England attending club matches while O’Shea saw Ebosele mark Robbie Brady in the EFL Championship match between Watford and Preston North End on Wednesday night.“Finn Azaz is another one who has been playing well for Middlesbrough. I saw him last week when they played Stoke – impressive, and again the day before yesterday, he had a good performance against West Brom, so a guy I think can step up and show his strength for us.
“We had kind of selected the squad prior to matches,” said Hallgrímsson of Cannon’s return to form. “I don’t think we would have changed it but it was nice to see an Irish player score four goals but you could see in the game he is not fully match fit.
