Ian Harte remains a major doubt for Saturday’s crucial match against Holland at Lansdowne Road. The Leeds defender was the only Irish player to sit out today’s closed training session at Baldonnell.
FAI press officer Brendan McKenna said this evening that "Mick will wait as long as possible for Ian and if that means until Saturday morning then so be it."
The Irish manager has already indicated he will not be naming the first eleven until one hour before kick-off.
