Burnley midfielder Robbie Brady is set to captain the Republic of Ireland in tonight's friendly against Iceland.

It comes after regular skipper Seamus Coleman sustained a broken leg in Friday's scoreless draw against Wales.

That result leaves Martin O'Neill's men in a good position in their World Cup qualifying group - they trail leaders Serbia on goal difference.
