Failure to secure fourth fixture puts US clash with Ronaldo’s Portugal in doubt

FAI chief executive John Delaney last night admitted Ireland’s proposed United States summer tour is in jeopardy.

With two friendlies confirmed for late May against Turkey and Italy, as well as a provisional fixture on June 10 against Portugal, the end-of-season schedule appeared to be taking shape for Martin O’Neill and Roy Keane.

Delaney, however, revealed that a failure to so far secure a fourth fixture will scupper the stateside sojourn.
