The 20-year-old, making just his second competitive international start, suffered bruised ribs and an abdominal injury while there were also concerns he might have damaged his liver.

While his teammates flew home following on Monday, McNair was kept in hospital for assessment for two further nights with Irish FA doctor David White in attendance.
