O’Neill says Republic can’t afford mistakes today

Martin O'Neill's side will have to go without the services of Jonathan Walters, who has been ruled out due to an achilles injury.

West Brom's James McClean is the player most likely to take his place in attack for the crucial game in Bordeaux.

After recording a one all draw against Sweden on Monday, Ireland manager Martin O'Neill says mistakes will have to be minimised if they are to prevail against the Belgians today.

The match gets underway at 2.00pm.
