Stephen Kenny is still searching for his first win as manager of the Republic of Ireland after his side were held to a 0-0 draw by Wales in their Nations League tie.

James McClean was sent-off in the 84th minute and Shane Long had Ireland’s best chance of the game, heading over the bar when unmarked early in the second half.

The result means that Ireland are in third position in the group on two points, five behind leades Wales.

Prior to the game, Kenny's preparations were thrown into turmoil after an unnamed player tested positive for Covid-19.

The FAI confirmed that the player - and four others members of the squad deemed as close contacts - were unavailable for selection.

The League Cup and Community Shield would also be scrapped under the proposed plans.

However, the Premier League has expressed its disappointment at the plans and said they could have "a damaging impact on the whole game."

14 out of the 20 top flight clubs would have to vote in favour of the new proposals.
