His future as men’s national team manager continues to be in serious doubt, but Gavin Bazunu has insisted that the Republic of Ireland players are still offering their full backing to Stephen Kenny.

Following a 2-0 defeat to Greece at the Aviva Stadium last Friday – a result that ended their slim hopes of securing automatic qualification to next year’s finals in Germany – Ireland recorded a comfortable 4-0 victory against Gibraltar in their penultimate game in Group B of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers on Monday in Faro.
