Republic of Ireland winger Damien Duff will be fit to face Chile in Wednesday's friendly at Lansdowne Road despite missing training today with a sinus problem.

With the squad in the Algarve for a four-day training camp, manager Steve Staunton confirmed: "Damien has a bit of sinus trouble.

"It may take a day or two to sort out, but he will be fine to play on Wednesday."

Duff was not the only player to sit out the two-hour session as the Chelsea star was joined on the sidelines by Andy O'Brien (back), Joey O'Brien (knee), Alan Quinn (ankle) and Paddy Kenny.
