Shane Duffy's desire to continue playing for the Republic could play a part in discussions as he prepares for end-of-season talks about his future with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Popular centre-back Duffy has again been a key cog for the Boys in Green this season and also won plaudits for the way he started the Premier League campaign for his club, following a difficult loan spell at Celtic in 2020-21. Injuries have hampered his progress since, however, and with only one year remaining on his contract at the Amex, it is clear there are big decisions ahead.
