Ireland captain Séamus Coleman will miss Wednesday’s Uefa Nations League fixture against Ukraine but Stephen Kenny won’t be making wholesale changes in their bid to recover from the shock of losing to Armenia.

The Everton defender limped out of the 1-0 defeat in Yerevan and Kenny confirmed a groin pubis problem was diagnosed. He’ll remain with the squad for the rest of the window but with no guarantee of returning for Scotland’s visit on Saturday or the trip to neutral territory in Poland for the Ukrainian rematch on Tuesday.
