Republic of Ireland boss Stephen Kenny says he is happy with his options for Thursday's daunting Euro 2024 qualifier against France afterAfter scoring a hat-trick for Brighton against Newcastle, his injury has been viewed as a huge blow for the Irish.Ferguson's withdrawal on Tuesday came with attackers Troy Parrott, Michael Obafemi, Callum Robinson, and Mikey Johnston already unavailable to Kenny.
The Irish have taken just three points from as many games, having opened their campaign with defeats by France and Greece before beating Gibraltar."But we're going to give ourselves every opportunity and to prepare well and perform to the level that we need by putting in a really strong performance."
"They won the World Cup [in 2018] and obviously lost [the final] last year on penalties. They're definitely in the best two teams in the world, if not the best," added Kenny. "France had more possession than we did for sure but chances created it was pretty even, so it's different coming to Paris, we understand that.
Kenny was upbeat on Egan's chances of featuring despite the defender having battled a knee issue this week.
