NATHAN COLLINS RETURNS to the heart of the Republic of Ireland defence, as expected, for tonight’s Uefa Nations League clash with Austria in Linz.
John Egan drops out for the international captain as manager Heimir Hallgrímsson also sticks with a front two of Troy Parrott and Adam Idah.

Conor Coventry makes way in midfield and can count himself unfortunate after he stepped up during the last four-game window. He is one of five players at risk of missing the visit of Kosovo to Dublin on Tuesday if he picks up a yellow card. Liam Scales and Ryan Manning, who both start in defence, along with Jayson Molumby and Idah are in danger.
Your Ireland starting XI to face Austria 🇮🇪
Nathan Collins returns to the side with Adam Idah & Troy Parrott leading the line 👊
Kick-off in Linz is 75 minutes away 🏟️ https://t.co/QC64WLQlh7
Molumby, Finn Azaz and Jack Moylan make up the midfield.
Ireland can go top of the group with a win over current leaders Austria, although it’s a tough prospect against a side unbeaten in their last 10 competitive home games over the last three years.
Republic of Ireland: Caoimhín Kelleher; James Abankwah, Dara O’Shea, Nathan Collins (captain), Liam Scales, Ryan Manning; Finn Azaz, Jayson Molumby, Jack Moylan; Adam Idah, Troy Parrot.
