He's a fantastic player and character. It's a major blow for the lad, his club and us," the Ireland boss told Sky Sports. "We had a few things to overcome this week. We have a really great spirit."Seamus is a major blow – at the end of it all the most important thing is Seamus' health."</blockquote>
