The pair are okay

Shane Duffy and Eunan O’Kane were involved in a minor car crash on Sunday on their way to Republic of Ireland training.

The Derry duo were headed to link up with the squad at their training base when the incident occurred.

Neither are believed to have been seriously injured by the events and they’ve since reported safely at the team hotel in Dublin.

Just last year, the international management team of Roy Keane and Martin O’Neill were involved in a car crash on the M50.

Ireland have named just 19 players in the squad to face Mexico and, among them, Duffy and O’Kane are set to play big roles.

Duffy, however, is just back from a foot injury that saw him miss the final push for Brighton as they won promotion to the Premier League.
