ADAM IDAH’S FITNESS race for Ireland’s World Cup play-off looks set to go right to the wire with Swansea estimating that the striker will miss “around three months” through injury.
Idah suffered a hamstring injury while in training for their game against Coventry City on 26 December, and Swans head coach Vitor Matos offered a tentative prognosis on Sunday.
“It’s less [of a] worry than we thought which is good,” said Matos, “but still it will be around three months, two months and a half, out. Let’s see.”
Ireland’s crunch play-off semi-final against Czechia in Prague is on 26 March, making Idah a significant doubt for the game as things stand.
