Niall Quinn is hopeful that the Airtricity League can continue with its own 'Project Restart' despite rising Covid-19 numbers nationwide and a suspected case in Waterford where a player has reported flu-like symptoms.

It is understood that the player became unwell after travelling with the squad for Saturday's 1-0 win over Shelbourne in Dublin and, while he did not feature in the first round of fixtures after the shutdown, Waterford's match with Sligo Rovers on Tuesday has been postponed as a precaution.
