Hallgrimsson, meanwhile, has been staying in AirBnBs as he grapples with Ireland’s housing crisis.
Gavin Cooney HEIMIR HALLGRIMSSON IS the latest to be hit with the berserk reality of Ireland’s housing market. He spoke on the Late Late Show last Friday of why he felt it was important to move to Ireland, but nine months on from his unveiling, he has yet to find suitable long-term accommodation: Hallgrimsson and his wife are currently renting AirBnBs around Dublin in between stays at the Castleknock Hotel.
Caoimhín Kelleher is back on the bench at Liverpool, but can he retain the Irish starting spot ahead of Mark Travers and the returning Gavin Bazunu? The latter has recovered from his Achilles injury and is now playing regularly on loan at Standard Liege, while Travers has found regular football by dropping down to Middlesbrough in the Championship.
Doherty has started all of Wolves’ last 15 league games, and now only Nathan Collins and Dara O’Shea have played more Premier League minutes than Doherty this season. That kind of consistency is deserving of a recall, even if Doherty has largely been playing on the right of three centre-backs, a role without an exact counterpart in Hallgrimsson’s set-up.
Jack Taylor of Ipswich, impressively dynamic in the defeat away to Greece last October, is fit for selection again, and will buttress Ireland’s relatively meagre midfield options. All of Josh Cullen, Jason Knight and Jayson Molumby have been playing regularly in the Championship – Cullen and Knight have regularly captained Burnley and Bristol City respectively – though Molumby, like Scales, is suspended for the first leg.
