Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni could miss Wednesday's friendly against Argentina due to health concerns after he was taken to hospital on Tuesday morning.

Trapattoni, 71, has been in Ireland since Sunday, although it is believed that shellfish he ate before arriving in the country is to blame for him feeling unwell.
Assistant manager Marco Tardelli handled the media responsibilities on Monday and he will look after the training session on Tuesday afternoon in Gannon Park as Ireland prepare for their first international at the redeveloped Aviva Stadium.
