Republic of Ireland assistant manager Liam Brady remains in a "stable and comfortable condition" after he was admitted to Beaumont Hospital early this morning after returning from Olso where the Republic drew 1-1 in an international friendly with Norway last night.

"Liam Brady remains in a stable and comfortable condition in the coronary care unit of Beaumont hospital," today's statement from the FAI read.

"He was admitted there following an episode of back and chest pain this morning. His condition is stable and his medical investigations are ongoing. Liam will remain under observation overnight in Beaumont hospital. We all wish Liam a full and speedy recovery."

Brady, 52, had been examined by the Republic team doctor and was later admitted to Beaumont as a precautionary measure.
