West Bromwich Albion's Dara O'Shea has been handed his debut by Stephen Kenny for this afternoon's Nations League game against Finland in Helsinki.

Such is the change that Stephen Kenny has had to contend with this week between injuries and Covid-19 issues, that he will be the fourth man to partner Shane Duffy at the heart of defence after John Egan, Kevin Long and Matt Doherty.
