Mick McCarthy has no concerns about threat of cabin fever for players

As the majority of the Irish squad for next month’s Euro 2020 qualifiers begin work at their training camp in Portugal today, Mick McCarthy says he has no fears that the 17-day-long run-up to the game against Denmark on June 7 will see any of his players fall victim to cabin fever.

“I thought long and hard about it and we’ll make sure that we’re not all work and no play,” he said at The Campus, the impressive training base on the Algarve which will be their home until next Tuesday.
