The Republic of Ireland are facing further chaos ahead of Wednesday's Nations League game in Finland as another member of the squad has tested positive for Covid-19. The squad underwent a further round of tests on Sunday after the 0-0 draw with Wales, and when the results came back this morning there was a positive test from a player. It's understood the player in question was not one of the four players deemed to be close contacts to the squad member who tested positive before the Wales game. Having been frustrated by a positive test of a staff member which turned out to be a false positive, the FAI are awaiting a re-test to be sure but if the case today is indeed positive, it will cause even more problems for Kenny and his staff for the game in Finland. The FAI had delayed departure to Finland by 24 hours to be prepared to deal with any Covid issues in Dublin.
