Adam Idah is facing another spell on the sidelines and is likely to miss Ireland’s upcoming Nations League games against Scotland and Armenia.
The forward has suffered a set-back after returning from a six-month lay off because of a knee injury and requires additional surgery.
Idah suffered a season-ending injury in February and went under the knife.
The Corkman missed Ireland’s four games in June as a result but returned for Norwich City last month, only to meet a fresh setback this week.
Canaries boss Dean Smith said today: “Adam’s knee is still swelling up. He had to have some exploratory surgery and that will put him out for a number of weeks.”
Idah is expected to miss out on Stephen Kenny’s squad for the final two Nations League games when it is named at Aviva Stadium next Thursday.
