Waterford's Derrick Williams has been ruled out of the Republic of Ireland's Euro 2020 qualifier against Denmark on Monday.
The Blackburn Rovers defender picked up a calf strain in last night's friendly win over New Zealand.
Derrick Williams, Callum Robinson and former Waterford FC player Seani Maguire all found the net at the Aviva.

Ireland manager Mick McCarthy told FAI.ie: "Derrick felt his calf in the second half of the game and our medical team have assessed him today.
"He will go back to his club now and we wish him well. He was one of our best players on Thursday night and deserved his goal."
Fellow Waterford player Lee O'Connor has returned to the Under 21 squad ahead of their qualifier against Sweden on Tuesday.
"Lee had a really good debut, I was impressed with him and I've told him to be very proud of how he played," added McCarthy.
