Duffy: 'There’s no bad feeling. I’m still close to Declan'

Shane Duffy has insisted there will be no ill-feeling or uncomfortableness when he faces former Republic teammate Declan Rice in the Premier League today, focusing instead on taking his own career to the next level.
Brighton defender Duffy, named yesterday in the Republic’s squad for a vital Euro 2020 qualifier against Switzerland, will come face to face with his good friend for the first time since West Ham midfielder Rice controversially announced he was switching international allegiance from Ireland to England six months ago.
