The Republic of Ireland’s Nations League game against Israel in Hungary tomorrow will go ahead, following hours of uncertainty.

The FAI says players voted by a significant majority in favour of playing the fixture after holding lengthy talks at their team hotel.

Reports had suggested several players, including goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, were considering withdrawing from the game.
