I spy a full squad to pick from

FEARING prying eyes from Danish spies, Ireland cut their pre-match training session short last night.

The unusual Parken Stadium is also on office block with a number of non football related businesses located within.

The opening 15 minutes of the session are open to media but little is done in that time bar gentle stretching.

Match related work gets underway once reporters have retreated back inside to their working room.

But in case the Danes had spies lurking inside the offices – with a view of the pitch – Martin O’neill cut the session short.

Ireland will have a clean bill of health facing the Danes.

Burnley pair Jeff Hendrick and Stephen Ward showed no ill effects after their setbacks this week and trained at the Parken Stadium last night.

Hendrick only returned to training on Thursday after a glute injury while Ward was back in harness a day earlier after a long standing knee injury flared up.

With David Meyler suspended for the first-leg, Glenn Whelan is expected to come back into the side to partner Harry Arter as the deep lying midfielders.

Robbie Brady looks nailed on for the right side of an attacking three with Hendrick and James Mcclean in support.

Arguably O’neill’s biggest call tonight is who to play in attack.

It appears unlikely that he will deploy two strikers and, on form, Daryl Murphy may shade Shane Long.

The back five selects itself with Darren Randolph, Cyrus Christie, Shane Duffy, Ciaran Clark and Ward ready to start.
