St Ledger and Folan expected to train

The Republic of Ireland squad fly out to Nicosia later on today in advance of Saturday's World Cup qualifier meeting with Cyprus.

There is one more Dublin training session for the players before their flight.

Sean St Ledger and Caleb Folan are expected take part in Malahide, having sat out proceedings for the week so far.

Ireland notoriously received a 5-2 beating on their last visit to the Cypriot capital three years ago.
