Evan Ferguson will be assessed by the FAI’s medical staff to determine his availability for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier away to Portugal as uncapped Dundee United man Will Ferry has been added to the Irish squad.

Heimir Hallgrimsson’s panel assembled at their Dublin base on Monday, and there was relief in the camp to see Ferguson report for duty, after his club boss at Roma reported that he missed their weekend league game in Serie A with an ankle injury.
