Conor Hourihane admits coronavirus chaos among Republic of Ireland squad has left him fearing for health of family members

Republic of Ireland players fear for the health of family members amid the Covid-19 chaos of the national team.

Conor Hourihane admits they are waking up wondering if they will be next to test positive after four cases in the past week. The Aston Villa midfielder has already lost a family member to the disease and has concerns for his pregnant wife.

Boss Stephen Kenny has revealed that West Brom’s Callum Robinson brought the infection into camp ahead of last Thursday’s friendly with England, after which Preston’s Alan Browne tested positive.
