Ireland host Austria in Nations League clash

Republic of Ireland and Austria played to a goalless draw on Thursday at the Aviva Stadium. Phillip Mwene crossed from the left, but Caoimhin Kelleher saved his team's lead with an arm save. The Republic of Ireland captain Nathan Collins is injured and missing the match due to injury; Dara O'Shea will wear the armband instead. Gavin Bazunu returns after withdrawing earlier in the window while Jamie McGrath, Harvey Vale, Finn Azaz remain unavailable for various reasons. Austria has retired striker Marko Arnautović and midfielder Marcel Sabitzer from international duty this cycle.
