John O’Shea sat out this morning’s Ireland session with a tight calf, while Jon Walters warmed up with the team but then trained away from the main group.
Burnley striker Walters is of most concern for boss Martin O’Neill as he bids to shake off an ankle injury ahead of Saturday’s World Cup qualifier in Georgia (5pm).
It looks as if he is winning his fitness battle but will be carefully monitored ahead of the double-header, which concludes with the visit of Serbia on Tuesday.
Sunderland winger Aiden McGeady also trained after being given permission to arrive late following the birth of his son
