The Republic of Ireland squad has been hit by two more Covid-19 cases as Matt Doherty and James McClean have tested positive for the virus.

The FAI announced the test results this afternoon following Ireland's 1-0 loss to Wales in Cardiff last night which sets up a Nations League relegation decider against Bulgaria on Wednesday.
