Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny has been dealt an injury blow with the news that Mikey Johnston is set to be sidelined for up to three months. 

The recently-qualified winger has suffered a back injury, which will likely rule him out of contention for Ireland's upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers in September. Kenny's charges are due to face European giants France and the Netherlands on the 7th and 10th of the month, respectively.
