Ireland will fulfil Sunday’s Uefa Nations League game against Israel after a vote was taken of players at the team hotel in Hungary.

Gavin Bazunu was the first player to officially make himself unavailable this morning and while there were others who voted against proceeding, the FAI say a significant majority opted to.
