Jose Mourinho is not happy after his Tottenham player Matt Doherty tested positive for Covid-19 while on international duty.
The FAI announced today that Spurs full-back Doherty, along with James McClean, returned positive tests after Ireland's match with Wales.
It means Doherty will miss the Nations League match with Bulgaria on Wednesday and will also be unavailable to Tottenham for two weeks as he self isolates.
This development has not appeared to go down well with Spurs boss Mourinho who posted an Instagram message seemingly laden with sarcasm giving his thoughts on the recent international break.
Shortly after the news broke Mourinho posted a picture of himself working out along with the caption: "Amazing week of football. Great emotions in the national team matches, superb friendlies and total safety.
"Covid test results after matches been played, randomers running on the pitch while team sessions are taking place and much more.
"After another training session with only 6 players, it is now time to take care of myself."
Whatever about Mourinho's problems, Ireland boss Stephen Kenny can assuredly say he has many more.
Along with being without Doherty and McClean, striker Adam Idah is also ruled out of the match against Bulgaria after shipping an injury against Wales and has returned to Norwich City.
Jeff Hendrick is suspended for the Aviva Stadium clash after his red card in Cardiff while Jayson Molumby is also banned after the yellow he received.
And Stephen Kenny was already without Callum Robinson and Alan Browne after their respective positive tests for Covid before the England game.
Aaron Connolly, Seamus Coleman and John Egan are all injured while James McCarthy is unavailable for personal reasons.
Today Ireland called up Shamrock Rovers duo Graham Burke and Aaron McEnef, while Troy Parrott and Jack Taylor have been promoted from the U21s.
