The Republic of Ireland will now hold their delayed news conference at 14:30 BST before they face Israel in tomorrow's Nations League fixture in Hungary - a fixture campaigners have called on them to boycott.

Heimir Hallgrimsson's team are scheduled to meet Israel in Debrecen at 19:45 BST, with the return fixture in Backa Topola, Serbia on 4 October.

They have faced calls to withdraw from the games because of the ongoing Israel-Gaza war with a "Stop The Game" campaign - organised by the pressure group Irish Sport for Palestine - gathering pace.

But shortly afterwards, the Uefa official returned to the media room to announce that the Republic of Ireland's training session had also been postponed.
