St Ledger a concern for Cyprus clash

Preston North End defender Sean St Ledger remains an injury doubt for Ireland's World Cup qualifier against Cyprus in Nicosia on Saturday night.

The 24-year-old centre-half is still struggling with a knee injury and sat out today’s training session.

Hull City striker Caleb Folan also sat out the session.

And there has been a late call up for defender Paul McShane, who has been drafted in for the injured Kevin Foley.

Meanwhile, new Aston Villa centre-half Richard Dunne has linked up with the Irish squad in Malahide after completing his move from Manchester City.
