Quotes corner

Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny: “Some of the players are in pre-season, and some of them (Bulgaria) was their first game in six months.

“There's a balance to get right. On one hand, you want the back four to be consistent but we need that injection of energy (further up) the team also.

“It's great to get David back in the squad. He's had a good season with Sheffield United and he leads the line brilliantly.

“The foot injury was problematic for him. He's only really had a week's training, that's his first week back training if even.

“He comes into the squad but most likely not to start - it's too soon for him.”

Betting odds

Republic of Ireland win: 4/5

Finland win: 4/1

Draw: 23/10
