GIOVANNI TRAPATTONI WILL have to plan without striker Jon Walters for the international friendly against Greece this week.
The Stoke City man is injured, the FAI have revealed this evening.
“The Football Association of Ireland today confirmed that Jon Walters has been ruled out of this Wednesday’s friendly against Greece with a knee injury,” a statement reads.
“He will return to his club later this evening for treatment. No replacement has been called up.”
Trapattoni is expected to name his starting 11 after training tomorrow. There is a doubt over Paul McShane (calf) who sat out today’s session in Malahide with Walters.
