Alan Browne has become Stephen Kenny’s first injury concern for the June Euro qualifier in Greece but the Preston North End midfielder should be available unless his layoff for medial ligament damage is extended.

The Corkman hobbled out of Friday’s Championship meeting with QPR with a knee complaint and it is understood he faces at least a month on the sidelines.
