Stephen Kenny is expecting to be briefed on any security concerns his Ireland squad could face when they arrive in politically unstable Armenia on Wednesday.

Organised mass protests have been rife on the streets of Yerevan since mid-April, resulting in scores of dissenters being arrested by local police. Ireland open their Uefa Nations League campaign on Saturday at the capital’s Republic Stadium.
