Ireland to play Israel despite goalkeeper's boycott
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Sept, 09:54 · Archive
Ireland's football team will play Israel in a Nations League match but without its usual goalkeeper.
The Republic of Ireland will face Israel in a UEFA Nations League fixture this Sunday in Hungary. Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has withdrawn from the squad in protest. The team will wear black armbands during the match. UEFA rules require Ireland to name three goalkeepers for the fixture, so the squad includes an outfield player in that role.
