What happened. The FAI is investigating whether Adam Idah was racially abused by Israel supporters during Sunday's 3-0 Nations League win. Midfielder Jayson Molumby alerted officials during the game to alleged abusive chanting, but after full-time the officials said they heard no racist chanting.

• Uefa said no investigation could take place because no clear allegation was reported during the game.
• The FAI is amassing high-quality footage and pitchside audio to establish whether abuse occurred.
• A panel will analyse the evidence and may complain to Uefa if it finds proof.

Idah, unaware of any abuse during the match, is being supported by team-mates and staff before Ireland's remaining three fixtures in the international break.
