Aaron Connolly could be available for Wednesday’s UEFA Nations League game in Finland after Adam Idah’s return to the squad was confirmed.
The FAI need Brighton to agree to release the Galwegian after the HSE’s formal confirmation that the Abbotstown staff member who sat near the duo on the flight to Bratislava does not have Covid-19.
This means the talented duo are no longer classified as close contacts who need to restrict movement under Irish regulations.
It would be a significant boost for Stephen Kenny's side who bring a depleted squad to Finland after the FAI decided to delay the squad’s departure to minimise any more Covid-19 related problems.
