Seamus Coleman is Ireland’s chief injury concern ahead of the Euro 2024 qualifying clash with France.
The skipper wasn’t named among the substitutes for Wednesday’s friendly win over due to a thigh strain.
Last night, manager Stephen Kenny said it would be today before there is clarity on the severity of the injury and whether he could face Les Blues.
“He would be part of our plans, for sure, so I’m just waiting to see how the situation goes,” said Kenny, who is also assessing striker Adam Idah.
“Seamus just has a slight thigh strain. I’ll be clearer (this) morning on all fronts when we see how he is.”
Coleman suffered the knock against Chelsea last weekend and was always going to sit out the Latvia game.
But Kenny wants to go into Euros battle with his captain and said: "It would be ideal to have him but regardless we have the capacity to put in strong performances.
“We’ll just have to adapt (if ruled out).”
Kenny continued: "Seamus is in his best form in the last two years. He had that intermittent hamstring injury four or five times last year and was struggling with it.
“For me it was never about age, people thought he was getting old but it was never about that. He needed a run of frequent training and regular matches in the Premier League have been good for him.
"I was at the game last week at Brentford when they won 1-0 and he played really well."
Norwich forward Idah missed the Latvia game with a foot injury and will be assessed to see if he can feature against France, after his club claimed he could be out for weeks.
Meanwhile, Kenny hinted that Gavin Bazunu will return in goal on Monday after sitting out the Latvia game.
Caoimhin Kelleher played in that friendly but shipped two goals from distance as Ireland eventually edged through.
Kenny said: “Gavin has been consistently playing for us in a lot of the main games. He has been quite consistent.
“But it’s only fair that I speak to the team before I reveal that publicly. I think that would only be fair.
"In relation to watching the match back with Caoimhín he had no chance for that incredible first goal.
“The second goal, when I watched it on the sidelines, my initial instinct was he could have done better, he could have saved it.
“But the ricochet from Nathan Collins, from point blank range, made it extremely difficult. I’d completely absolve Caoimhin from any responsibility on that second goal."
