Stephen Kenny's side take on Azerbaijan in Baku.

Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny could be without two key players for tomorrow's World Cup qualifier with Azerbaijan.

Midfielder Jason Knight and striker Adam Idah have both been laid low with fever and they're major doubts for the game in Baku.

Neither player was able to train with the squad last night but they've since returned negative tests for COVID-19.

Maynooth's Mark Travers and Leixlip's Nathan Collins and Andrew Omobamidele are all involved.

Former Ireland captain Kenny Cunningham says Knight would be badly missed in midfield.
