O’Neill coy as Kane linked with Republic call

Revealing he is considering attending the Spurs-Aston Villa game at White Hart Lane tomorrow, O’Neill first highlighted the possibility that Jack Grealish might follow up his Premier League debut with another run-out for the visitors before cryptically adding there was “another element” to his attending the game, “a possibility of something else”.
Asked if this something else might be eligibility-based, the manager answered in the affirmative but, having dangled the bait, quickly withdrew it when Kane’s name was raised from the back of the press conference room in Abbotstown. “I am not listening to up there,” O’Neill chuckled. “I am ignoring what is being said up there.”
