On Friday, Italy's game away to Iceland was postponed due to COVID-19 positivity of two players and a staff member but they have since returned to Italy and are working with health authorities to assess the status of their squad.

The Ireland squad & staff were tested before arriving into Johnstown House, Enfield for a four-day training stint then again during that camp and will be tested on Saturday. They have been following HSE, Government & UEFA protocols.

In team news, Neil Farrugia did not travel with the squad due to a hamstring injury.
