Sean Maguire and Daryl Horgan have been drafted into the Republic of Ireland team for the Nations League matches against Wales and Finland.

The Preston forward and Wycombe winger replace Aaron Connolly and Adam Idah, who were pulled from Thursday night’s Euro 2020 knockout semi-final defeat in Slovakia minutes before kickoff after the match considered they had been in close contact with a back-room staff member who tested positive for coronavirus.

It is understood that the 20-year-old Brighton striker Connolly was supposed to start in Bratislava but was replaced by James McClean from Stoke.

An appeal to allow Connolly and Idah to play was rejected because they had been sitting six feet from the infected staff member on the flight to Slovakia.
