Matt Doherty and James McClean, who both started Republic of Ireland's defeat to Wales on Sunday, have tested positive for coronavirus....not sure where that leaves the rest of the squad and more importantly whether it means Jason weill miss the game on Saturday....

It looks like, according to BBC, the rest of the squad have returned negative results and are preparing for the Bulgaria game. So I'd suggest that he will still be available to play this weekend for us. Unless he does his ACL in the game or something else typically Derby-like...

This follows on from Browne pulling out of the squad a few days ago due to testing positive (resulting in Knight's call-up). Callum Robinson missed out on the England game after testing positive as well

Jason played the full game despite Ireland using 5 subs. Thrilled for him. In the first half he gave the ball away with a sideways pass on the halfway line (that Derby coaching is tough to shake off) but he sprinted back like a demon to get in the way of the shot at the end of the move. Then in the second half he went on a marauding run and played a perfect through ball to the centre forward unmarked and central just inside the box, to create Ireland's best chance by far, but the guy couldn't finish.
